Agona Swedru, Dec 4, GNA - Dr Ekwow Spio-Garbrah, an NDC Presidential aspirant, has said he had the capacity to run the presidency if the delegates gave him the nod at the party's primaries on 21st December.

He said if he should be given the nod he could turn the fortune of the party in the next elections.

Dr Spio Garbrah was speaking to the Ghana News Agency in an interview at Agona Swedru on Saturday after he had addressed the Central Region delegates of the party.

He said there should be a massive change in the party and that the NDC needed to get somebody marketable who should be in a position to provide adequate resources and logistics to run the party. Dr Spio-Garbrah said his chances of becoming the flag bearer were brighter than other contestants because he started from the scratch as constituency executive of NDC in the Ajumako-Enyan-Essiam constituency in early 90s.

He said a former Director of Communications of the party and an experienced and marketable person he would be able to lead the NDC to re-capture power. 04 Dec 06
