Obed Asamoah
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Obed Asamoah (born 1936) is a politician from Ghana. Asamoah served as foreign minister and Attorney General of Ghana under Jerry Rawlings from 1981 to 1997. In 2002, Asamoah replaced Rawlings as head of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), beating former defense minister Alhaji Iddrisu by just 2 votes. In 2006, amid speculation that Asamoah would run for President in 2008, he said he will not seek the Presidency but instead work to win victory for his party in that year's national elections.
