Members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), who are vying for the national chairmanship position of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), were successfully vetted at the party’s headquarters at Asylum Down in Accra yesterday.
The exercise marked the end of a week-long vetting of aspirants for various positions in the NPP.
Some political observers believe it’s a straight fight between incumbent acting National Chairman, Freddie Blay, and three-time aspirant, Stephen Ntim.
Two aspirants- Alhaji Abubarkari Abdul-Rahman, popularly known as Alhaji Short, and David Kankam Boadu, withdrew from the race.
Dr Richard Amoako Baah and Stephen Ntim, who will be making his fourth successive attempt to win the position, will battle it out with acting National Chairman of the NPP, Freddie Blay, who has been tipped to win the post.
In a brief interview after the vetting, Mr Blay urged delegates to come out in their numbers to vote.
He said the party needs leadership that is “prepared to face the consistent and persistent propaganda and fake news being manufactured by the NDC.”
Mr Blay added that the party needed strong leadership to support the government to deliver its mandate to the people of Ghana.
In all, 41 aspirants successfully went through the vetting process, and the outcome of the vetting will be announced on Monday, June 4, 2018.

Uncle BLAY will win the chairmanship so the others must stop wasting their RESOURCES. Blay was able to wipe OFF NDC diabolic plans so why don't we allow him to WIPE them off again.Blay is simply a GENIUS.
MY GUYS UR LINE OF LOGIC IS NOT INTACT. TO BE REJECTED TWO OR THREE TIMES MEANS YOU ARE NOT A GOOD BET. WE NEED SOME WHO HAS PRESIDED A PARTY IN OPPOSITION TO POWER. IN JOB APPLICATION WHO DOES NOT NEED EXPERIENCE?NPP IS NOT FOR ANY TRIBE OR ANYBODY. IF YOU HAVE THE CARD AND PAY UR DUES, UR COMPETENCY WINS YOU A POSITION NOT HOW LONG YOU HAVE FOLLOWED THE PARTY. IF SO THEN THE GHOST OF APPIAH MENKA AND PROF ADU BOAHEN DESERVE THE CHAIRMANSHIP.LET US AWARD THE POSITION TO THE SON OF ADU BOAHEN SO THAT THERE WOULD NOT ELECTION TO SAVE THE PARTY'S MONEY IF ONLY LOYALTY INSTEAD OF COMPETENCY COUNTS.
Almost all users of Ecobank Ghana Visa Classic Cards say the bank has been declining international transactions over the last 4 weeks. Many are opening accounts with other banks as this thrown their plans into disarray. Ecobank is no longer reliable.
Who says Freddie is tipped to win. Wishful thinking. The delegates are wide awake. They will take the money and chop and still vote against you. if loyalty and honesty is rewarded, then of course Time Aso. Freddie doesn't share our ideals and tradition. He is from cpp and happens to benefit from the Afoko debacle. No body has even been a 2 time chairman. The man for the moment is Stephen Ayesu Ntim
I'm surprised this is going on under Nana's watch. when he was a victim of such circumstances we all spoke against it that it wasn't right and that it was his turn. We've all supported him till today. What is happening now? Why are people being "forced" to resign for want of a better word for others to have an advantage? In 2008 a basic question was asked." who is Alan? where was he when the struggle began?" I beg to ask, is this question relevant today?? If yes, then the die is cast! If NPP truly rewards loyalty, then I guess we all know who doesn't fit. Mind you people in the swing regions like Brong Ahafo are keenly monitoring proceedings. Lets not beat the side of the drum when the beautiful melodious top leather lining is intact. Time Aso!!
