Hannah Tetteh opens up on alleged Presidential ambition

The Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration Minister, Hanna Tetteh, has spoken on speculation in the media to the effect that she has presidential ambition.

Over the weekend, Madam Tetteh told  Kwesi Pratt, host of Hot Issues on TV3, that she had no such ambition.

"I have said this several times...at the end of the day what is the higher position? It's either a President or Vice President. I don't ever want to contest for President and the choice of a vice presidential candidate is the prerogative of a presidential candidate and not something that you desire to do on your own.

“And I think that having had the chance to serve as a Minister is a very high position. It comes with a lot of responsibility and I am happy to have had the opportunity and privilege to be a minister," the Awutu Senya West MP said.

The Minister was, however, open to serving as Vice President if a Presidential Candidate selects her.
