A few days before the national annual delegates conference, Charles Bissue, a candidate for general secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), withdrew from the race.
Bissue stated that he made the choice following extensive deliberation with numerous stakeholders in a letter sent to the national election committee on Wednesday (13 July).
“I tender herein, my withdrawal from the General Secretary contest of the New Patriotic Party. My decision is sequel to broad consultations with family, promoters and supporters, delegates and well-wishers of my campaign.
“I am convinced, and reiterate that the various contenders for the position are equally deserving of the position of a General Secretary. It is my prayer that delegates of this great Party make the right choice in electing amongst the remaining candidates, the best to lead the NPP into another political cycle; and that of course is to break the 8-year jinx.”
“I assure the Party of my support to whoever gets elected as the General Secretary and to be of service to the Party when called upon. [Reference section “My Agenda 4 Change” for a read on some of the various policies, strategies etc. I intended to deploy when elected as General Secretary],” the letter stated.
This means five persons namely John Boadu, Justin Kodua Frimpong, Iddrisu Musah, Frederick Opare-Ansah, Charles Bissue and Ramseyer Ahmed Agyeman-Prempeh will stand for the position of NPP general secretary.
