He said the governing party has a bigger chance to stay in power if the Vice President leads them.
Freddie Blay told Kwesi Parker-Wilson of Oyerepa TV that the message from the party, even from that conference, is clear that Bawumia as the party’s leader, going into the pending general elections, gives it a far better chance.
“The party has spoken, and it’s an indication, to some extent, and from my opinion, that indicates where the party will be going. If one wants to be political, if one wants to see things as they are going on, me, I was convinced that was what was going to happen.
“It’s not an issue of me wanting but… I think with Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, our chances at the national elections will be far brighter… I am saying so emphatically. From what party members have decided, from what they indicated, I, personally, believe that it is better for the party, and that’s the best decision the party has taken,” he explained.
