Accra, April 6, Ghanadot - Prof Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng has announced his desire to contest the New Patriotic Party's flag-bearer slot and has challenged delegates to consider issues and competence in making a choice.

The renowned surgeon and head of the National Cadiothoracic Centre in an interview on Joy FM said delegates must now consider the deteriorating state of national development and make a wise choice.

He was among a rather tall list of 17 aspirants who contested the party’s flag-bearer primaries in 2007, won eventually by Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

Far from giving up his dream of becoming the president, the soft spoken heart surgeon believes his deeds over the years put him in a better stead to win the party's flag-bearer slot.

Prof. Frimpong-Boateng called for attitudinal change among delegates and asked them to concentrate on issues that have a bearing on their survival.

His announcement brings to six the number of candidates who have expressed interest in the position.

Former vice-president Alhaji Aliu Mahama, former Chief Executive Officer of the defunct Ghana@50 Secretariat Dr Charles Wereko-Brobby, MP for Subin Isaac Osei and the two front runners Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen and Nana Akufo-Addo.
