Kufuor is not confused - Commey

Cape Coast, July 17, GNA- The National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr Lord Commey has said President John Agyekum Kufuor was not having a problem in choosing his running mate for next year's elections.

''Rumours circulating that the President is having a problem in choosing his running mate because of wrangling in the party are not true.''

Speaking to the GNA in an interview Mr Commey said Vice-President Aliu Mahama, was a hard working, competent and honest man, who deserved to be chosen again for the position and he would not be surprised if he were chosen.

Mr Commey, who is on a week's tour of the Central Region, said the good people of Ghana could testify to the fact that the Vice-President had done a good job and won the confidence of all.

In an interaction with Journalists earlier, Mr Commey deplored attempts by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to discredit the NPP administration and said the NPP was not afraid of the NDC.

''The NDC has no moral justification to accuse the NPP of not being able to perform. The NPP inherited a bankrupt economy from the NDC and it has not been an easy task to repair the damage.''

Mr Commey said comparatively the two-and- a- half years of the NPP government had yielded positive results and that Ghanaians were the best people to judge.

He said the numerous development projects and the various initiatives by the government towards more job creation testified to the fact that the government had kept faith with the people.
