Defeated New Patriotic Party (NPP) Chairman, Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey has stated that he will take a break from politics soon.
According to him, despite his �shocking� 66 votes in the just ended delegates� conference held in Tamale, he is not in �pains� but need a rest.
�No I am not in pains�I am very well. This is a job application and I offered myself. I was not accepted,I am disappointed but I move on. I don�t feel like Jake is a human being who has been rejected, so there is no pain for me,� he said.
Speaking on Accra-based Adom FM, Jake vowed to work hand-in-hand with the newly elected Chairman, Paul Afoko to ensure the NPP�s success in the 2016 polls.
�I will work with him [Afoko] because the NPP is a major part of my life. If I don�t work with Paul Afoko who will I work with?� he questioned.
Adding that, �I am meeting with him [Paul Afoko] on Wednesday [16 April 2014] to have a chat and see if there is anything I can do�.
Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey also asked party supporters to rally behind the newly elected executives for victory in 2016 after most of his executives lost their re-election bid when delegates voted for Paul Afoko and other contenders to lead a new set of executives at the party�s conference on Saturday April 12.
Nonetheless, Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey hinted that he will take a break from politics.
�I am going to have a rest�going for a holiday to think about a whole lot of things including writing a book,� he said.
