Former finance minister, Dr. Kwabena Duffuor has finally spoken after the National Democratic Congress (NDC) organized a peaceful primaries in which John Mahama was elected as the flagbearer.
Prior to the NDC primaries, Dr. Duffuor pulled out of the Presidential race noting his decision was based on his complaints about the procedures surrounding the party’s upcoming primaries, particularly the voters register.
He claims that there have been numerous irregularities with the exercise, which the party leadership has not addressed.
As a result, he emphasized that he will no longer run for the NDC’s flagbearer position, adding that he will continue to communicate with the party’s grassroots.
After the news that Dr. Kwabena Duffuor was no longer going to contest with Mahama and Kojo Bonsu before the Primaries on Saturday, 13th May, 2023, there were rumours that the former governor of the Bank of Ghana would bow out of the NDC and form his own party.
