Freddie Blay: I’m still in the race 

 

Acting National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Freddie Blay, has rejected claims that he is no longer interested in his party’s chairmanship race.
Reports were rife Monday night that Mr. Blay had chickened out of the chairmanship race in support of Alhaji Short, another contender.

However, a press statement issued by Mr. Blay’s office Tuesday denied the reports.

“Let me forcefully state without any shred of doubt that no such statement has been issued by Chairman Blay or any of his campaign coordinators. Chairman Freddie Blay has not stepped out of the race as it is being alleged. In fact, he is the candidate to beat in this race and not the other way round,” Sylvester Tetteh, Campaign Manager for Freddie Blay said.

Below is the full statement:

Below is the full statement:
Our attention has been drawn to a publication making rounds purported to ferry into the minds of the good people of the New Patriotic Party and our delegates that Chairman Freddie Blay has stepped down and is no longer vying for the National Chairmanship slot of the party scheduled for July 2018 at Koforidua.

The statement also seems to create the impression that the decision to bow out of the race is hinged on some voodoo research that appears to suggest that Chairman Freddie Blay’s decision is attributed to the fact that he cannot win this race and has therefore decided to throw his weight behind Mr. Stephen Ntim.

Let me forcefully state without any shred of doubt that no such statement has been issued by Chairman Blay or any of his campaign coordinators. Chairman Freddie Blay has not stepped out of the race as it is being alleged. In fact, he is the candidate to beat in this race and not the other way round.

We are by this statement dispelling this malicious rumour which has clearly been orchestrated by his detractors and opponents who cannot cope with the reality that Mr. Blay has won this race and would wish to mischievously create this misconception. Obviously pained by the fact that this race is a foregone conclusion, such a statement has been crafted to pollute the atmosphere.

This, we believe, is coming from the camp of the obvious loser in this contest. We, therefore, urge all and sundry to disregard this fabricated story and treat it with the sort of disdain it deserves. We are focused on our agenda to ensure that Chairman Freddie Blay emerges victorious when the election is held. Thank you!
Sylvester Tetteh Campaign Manager
