We don't need a rich man to lead NPP but someone with experience — Bawumia

He said the NPP needs a candidate who has experience and a track record in governance to 'break the 8' and not just a rich man to lead the party.

"As we go for the presidential primaries. We need someone who can help us retain. We need a selfless leader to lead the party and not a richer man. We need someone who has humility. We need someone who has a track record. We need someone who has the temperament. We need someone who has innovative ideas and has tolerance for everyone," Bawumia said.
