In a statement, Obour said: “I was not very clear in my mind then, as I had other competing considerations.
"After very extensive consultations with my maker (God), immediate family, friends and loved ones, the call on me to avail myself of service is overwhelming.
“I am very happy to announce today, the 24th day of January 2020 that I, Bice Osei Kuffour (Obour) have firmly decided to contest the NPP primaries in the Asante-Akyem South Constituency to serve my people and contribute to improving the electoral fortunes of the great New Patriotic Party (NPP) ahead of the 2020 general elections when given the nod”.
Obour said he would be picking his nomination forms on Tuesday, January 28, 2020 at the NPP office in Juaso.
