The Flag bearer of the Great Consolidated Popular Party, Henry Hebert Lartey has laughed-off allegations that suggest he endorsed President John Dramani Mahama for monetary gains, describing it as "ridicules and unfounded."

Dr. Lartey's  announcement to support for the ruling National Democratic Congress has come under intense scrutiny, with most reactions from  social media alleging the he has been induced by John Mahama with a whooping amount of GH ¢20, 000.

At  a press conference in Kumasi on Sunday, Dr  Lartey declared his support for the NDC,  claiming  the decision was made out of the good projects and policies introduced by the John i Mahama administration to improve life of Ghanaians.

" The false alarm is not needed. We need Ghana to move forward. This is what we want and not GH ¢ 20,000 in my pocket. Collecting money to do what, to go and support somebody to win elections?   No, no; it is ridicules. Let them go on with the false alarm,"he told  nhyira fm's Ohemeng Tawia.

“He [Mahama] is performing on infrastructure. He says I’m going to do it and he is doing it."

"If a big country like United States of America believes in infrastructure, it means Mahama is ahead of the United States of America. The truth has to be told for Ghanaians to understand. No politicking; the evidence is there. Even at Accra, you can see what’s happening at the interchange. It has become a tourist attraction. Why shouldn’t I support somebody who’s doing well,” he quizzed.

Dr Lartey believes Mr Mahama's performance goes in line  GCPP’s ‘domestication’ ideology and hence  should be supported by all well-meaning Ghanaians.

They include the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange which he says has become tourist attraction, Komenda Sugar Factory, local content delivery in Ghana’s oil business that allow participation of locals as well as other infrastructural developments

According to him, the projects will not only improve the livelihood of Ghanaians, but also put the nation at the level it requires.

Dr Henry Lartey was disqualified from contesting the 2016 elections over inadequate information, according to the electoral  commssion.
