One of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer aspirants, Stephen Asamoah Boateng has said he still has presidential ambitions\u00a0\u00a0 even though the party’s delegates ditched him at the just ended super delegates congress.<\/p>\n

Asamoah Boateng managed a paltry 1.76% of the total votes, thus failing to make the list of top five to contest in the final national delegates congress on October 18.<\/p>\n

When he picked up his nomination forms<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span> in June Mr. Asamoah Boateng said “he will have the opportunity to lead the party in the 2016 general elections.\u201d\u00a0Before then, he spoke in an interview on Eyewitness News<\/strong> and likened himself to a “bulldog” who makes sure he “chews up” anything he bites, and was bent on finishing the race well.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the same programme\u00a0on Monday, the former member of parliament for Mfantseman West constituency, said he has not given up on his presidential ambitions.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce I put my teeth into something I bite and breathe at the same time like a British bulldog, so I know what I\u2019m about. I don\u2019t start something that God does not want to finish with me,\u201d he insisted.<\/p>\n

He said he has a positive mindset for the future and his political career.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a positive forward looking person, I\u2019ve started a journey, the first step and initial steps are taken. It\u2019s a four year cycle and it comes in roles,\u201d he implored.<\/p>\n

Asamoah Boateng also revealed that he has learnt from Sunday’s contest, adding that although he couldn’t make it into the final five, he is not perturbed.<\/p>\n
