He also noted, that the party is looking for somebody who can consolidate the NPP vote in their stronghold in the Ashanti Region.
”We are not looking for a flagbearer, we are looking for somebody who becomes president and by doing so puts NPP in power. We are looking for someone who can consolidate our votes in our strongholds Ashanti region and also dilute the strength of the NDC in their stronghold. We need someone who will unify not just the party but the country and stability to our nation.
