Dr Apraku said he was that “rescuer” the country needed to get out of its current economic conundrum and achieve prosperity.
“I have done it in President Kufuor’s era and I am ready to transform this country with a clear sense of direction and a shared vision of the future,” the economist said.
Dr Apraku said this when he filed his nomination form on Monday, at the party’s headquarters at Asylum Down, Accra, to contest the presidential primary come November 4, 2023.
Dr Apraku, earlier after visiting the party’s headquarters on Monday, June 19, 2023, to submit his forms was instructed to complete his documents and re-submit same to the elections committee of the party.
Accompanied by members of his campaign team, he successfully filed his nomination forms by close of day.

The NPP has slated August 26 for its Super Delegates Congress as well as November 4, for the National Congress to elect a flagbearer for the 2024 general election.
