Former Mayor of Kumasi says he has been encouraged by some supporters of the National Democratic Congress to contest for the party’s flagbearership race.

Kojo Bonsu revealed he took a decision after some grassroots supporters confided in him he is handsome and can make a good president.

“Upon consultations, the grassroots praised me for my good looks and that I will really fit into Presidential position,” he said on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen Friday.

For o Kojo Bonsu, contesting as flagbearer came as no surprise since he has always been doing a lot of background works.

“I have been a member of the party for a longer time and qualified as flagbearer aspirant. I thought about before I decided to contest for NDC flagbearership,” he added.

Mr Bonsu’s decision to contest the flagbearership came as a shock to many NDC sympathisers .

He wants to see  NDC as  a party that will introduce programmes to empower its members “like the current branch education programme to turn all regions to a force for victory.”
