By Abdul Salam Sule, Ghanadot

Accra, March 17, Ghanadot - The 2004 Presidential candidate of the Convention People's party (CPP), Mr George Opesika Aguddey has declared his intentions to contest the flagbearership race of the party in the 2012 elections.

According him, history favours those who have contested the presidential seat for the third time and he would be no exception.

Speaking in an interview with a local radio station in Accra today, Mr Aguddey cited ex-PresIdent Kuffour and President Mills who contested the elections on three consecutive times before winning the presidency.

He noted that, it was only in the year 2004 that he led CPP and so had two more chances to lead the party to victory.

Mr Aguddey was however very optimistic that his coming back in 2012 would help win the presidency for the CPP.

Political analyst has however ruled out any chances of Aguddey winning the CPP Presidential race.

According to Mr Ibrahim Yoda, a political analyst who spoke to Ghanadot, Mr Aguddey has little chance, considering his attitude towards the party after the party's Presidential primary in Kumasi.

He said,Mr Aguddey after loosing the race to Dr Paa Kwesi Ndoum angrily stormed the national office of the Convention People's Party and took away all his belongings from the office including a wall clock.

This Mr Ibrahim said has ruled out any chance of Aguddey to lead the party and advised him to stay away.

Already Ghanadot has picked signals that, Prof Agyemang Badu Akosa and Dr Kwesi Ndoum will put in their bids for the seat when the time comes.
