He said calls for Nana  Konadu to contest have intensified to the extent that some persons in  the party are now buying into the idea.<br \/>\n\u201cThe NDC as a party has  its rules and constitutions so when we open nominations, we will  determine whether or not Nana Konadu will contest but at this point,  people will continue to speculate and others will continue to push the  people they think they prefer to be their leader,\u201d he explained.<br \/>\nHe  added that there is nothing wrong with people suggesting or calling on  others to contest as flagbearer. According to him, members of the party  have every right to ask or suggest anybody to contest to be the  flagbearer of the party.<br \/>\n\u201cIn every political party, when it gets  to some stage, we have leaders that people think should be their  flagbearer so members of the party have every right to ask or suggest to  anybody to contest or lead the party\u2026 that is how it all began, with  persons within the party asking Nana Konadu to contest for the  flagbearership, and since then they have gathered a lot of support. It  has gone to the extent that, some of us receive calls from within the  party and persons within the party saying that what the groups are  saying is a good idea,\u201d he noted.<br \/>\nMr Adams, who is also the  Special Aide to former President Jerry John Rawlings, added that Nana  Konadu is not worried or perturbed at all about calls on her to contest  as the flagbearer.<br \/>\n\u201cWhen the time comes for her to speak on the  case, she will do that but there is nothing worrisome or disturbing  about people calling you to contest or present yourself for a position.  The only thing is you will have to think through it and make a decision  that at the end of the day benefits the party and the country,\u201d he  stressed.<br \/>\nHe would not however, confirm or deny that the former first lady harbors the intention to contest Prof. Mills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deputy General Secretary of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Kofi Adams, has strongly asserted that until the party officially opens nominations for national elections, all media publications about Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings\u2019 campaigning as the NDC flag bearer remains mere speculation.
