George Boateng, the man aspiring to contest President John Mahama for the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential Candidate slot for the 2016 election has been declared as a “sound minded” person by Pantang psychiatric doctors.

Speaking on NEAT FM’s morning show "Ghana Montie" - George Boateng maintained that he is mentally stable and has no brainsick related issues as purported.

“I am not mad. I went to the Pantang hospital with the media and was examined. The doctors maintained that nothing is wrong with me,” he told host Kwasi Aboagye.

The President’s lone contender went through a detailed mental check up at the Pantang Psychiatric hospital after some party executives including Asiedu Nketiah described him as a "mad man" – this was after he announced his decision to contest President John Mahama and bought his nomination forms at the party's headquarters last week.

The move was on the back of an advice given to him by his Chief Scribe for him to be mentally checked-up, as his quest to contest the sitting president was abnormal.

However, George has challenged Asiedu Nketiah also known as “General Mosquito” to also consider a mental check-up – “Asiedu Nketiah is mad, I know that one for sure.”

George who want to pick up his original presidential nomination form today at the party’s head office at 12:00pm says the party national executives are – “playing hide and seek with me now. I just don’t understand them. Asiedu Nketiah must come out publicly to tell me why he is running away from me”.
