Flagbearer hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto is dispelling a certain perception about his persona.
The former Agriculture Minister insists that he is not an arrogant person as some people perceive him to be.
Dr Akoto says the contrary is the truth.
“Frequently, I have often been perceived as being too serious and arrogant but that is far from the reality,” he said in Accra.
He said this while launching his NPP flagbearership bid at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA).
Dr Akoto insists that his close associates can testify to his affable nature and approach.
“For those who know me well, I am known to be confident, 'very passionate” and to have “strong” views on many subjects.
He added that “in fact, I am a very friendly, open-hearted and affable person.”
The NPP stalwart reiterated his confidence as the one candidate who can win take the reins in the next election with the “immense support that I have received so far ever since I announced my intention to contest the flagbearership race.”
“I never knew there were so many who have quietly followed my progress in politics over the years and continue to believe in me,” he added.
