The National Chairman of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Freddie Blay has endorsed the re-election bid of the General Secretary, John Boadu.

According to him, Mr. Boadu’s victory will go a long way to help the party achieve its dream of breaking the eight.

Speaking on Kumasi-based Oyerepa FM, Mr Blay also added that as a true party man, John Boadu appreciates the party structures reason he has been able to distinguish himself creditably.

“He’s done a good job and I will endorse John Boadu anytime when it comes to elections. I have worked with him for a very long time, and he has done a good job. In terms of knowledge, he understands the structures of the party. He has an institutional memory and there’s no fault on his performance,” he told host of Oyerepa Breakfast Time, Kwesi Parker-Wilson.

Mr. Blay also dismissed claims that John Boadu has abandoned the party office for a private one in another location in Accra saying those allegations are unfounded.

“It’s a voluntary job and he has an office to run. You don’t go there (the party office) to mark register. The General Secretary may travel outside the country, attend meetings and also attend to his family. In this modern world people don’t need to sit in the office to work.”

The NPP is set to elect its national executives to steer the affairs of the party for the next four years.

General Secretary of the party, John Boadu who is seeking re-election has begun a nationwide campaign tour to retain his seat.
