Mr Asiedu Nketia had been linked to nursing an interest to go for the national chairman position of the NDC but he never officially confirmed it anytime he was asked about it.
Even when he declared in September 2022 not to seek re-election as General Secretary of the NDC, he declined a comment on his future as going for the national chairman position.
In the radio interview today, when he was asked about his interest, he said, "Yes, I have intentions that when nominations are opened, I will pick forms to contest the national chairman position."

That was when he declared that he will not be seeking re-election as General Secretary in the December 17, 2022 national executives elections of the party.
