Speaking on Asempa FM’s Eko Sii Sen show on Monday, Mr Freddy Blay said that he did not lobby for the job because he was confident he was going to be chosen by the Council of Elders of the party for the position.
“Of course traditionally, when there is a vacant seat people contest to occupy it. I was hoping to be made the Speaker of Parliament, but I never spoke to the President about it. I wish I had it but I couldn’t have made noise about my wish. I’m currently serving as the Acting National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), but if there’s any place that the President wants me to serve which will not affect my job in the party, I will gladly take it up,” he said.
