“I appreciate the way people have interacted with me. Some have supported me and of course, others have criticised me to make me look better and sometimes a little bad.

“Definitely, I would be proud to be referred to as former chairman. History will be a better judge of what we have been able to do,” he is quoted to have said in an interview with Citi FM.

Blay served as National Chairman from 2015 to date. Incumbent Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo won two elections within that period.

Persons lined up to replace Blay include Prof. Christopher Ameyaw Ekumfi, Stephen Asamoah Boateng and Stephen Ntim, with the latter widely tipped to be Blay's successor.

The National Delegates Conference taking place at the Accra Sports Stadium is the final leg of the NPP's internal elections.

The process is expected to culminate in the election of a flagbearer to lead the NPP into the 2024 presidential elections.
