Bright, however, accused her main contender Ahmed Arthur of certificate-cheating.
Her petition to party executives to disqualify Arthur over the certificate impasse failed.
Addressing a news conference in Accra Saturday, the former legal advisor to former President John Kufuor said she cannot be part of a fraudulent contest.
Meanwhile, in the Korle Klottey Constituency, Philip Addison and Nii Adjei have boycotted primaries in the area.
