The First Vice Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah has disclosed that he will comment on new developments in the party at 7 am on his Facebook page on Tuesday, May 10.
Dr Spio Garbrah who spoke to Adom News’ Samuel Mantey in an exclusive interview from his London base said he would address all ongoing issues in the party and also put to rest all speculations about his political future.
Dr. Spio Garbrah was one of two candidates who lost the party’s presidential slot to Prof. Mills in 2006 and he has since been a major critic of the Mills government describing it as sick and its ministers as Team B.
In more recent times he has said that President Mills does not have to run for a second term, arguably to make way for people like him to get the nod to lead the party so it was not far-fetched to pick him as one of the main characters to comment about the recent developments in the party.
Before Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings launched her campaign for the flagbearership position of the NDC, pundits threw Dr. Spio-Garbrah’s name up as the Rawlingses favourite to challenge President Mills.
There have also been speculations about Dr. Spio-Garbrah becoming Nana Konadu’s running mate if she wins.
Others pundits have also said that Dr. Spio-Garbrah will dump the Rawlings faction because Nana Konadu had allegedly betrayed an agreement that he would contest and make Nana Konadu his running mate.
However, Dr Garbrah has not responded to all these speculations about his political future but now he has promised to end the uncertainty with his Facebook article.
Ahead of the much anticipated post, political Analyst and Lawyer, Osei Kwadwo, believes that Dr. Spio-Garbrah would give Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings and President Mills stiffer opposition if he decides to contest.
According to him, Dr. Spio Garbrah might not be eying victory in 2012 but would use it as preparation for the future.
