His comment follows the widespread belief that the two major parties, the NPP and NDC, fund proxies in various university-level elections to further their political agenda in universities nationwide.
According to Guru, while he is a member of the NPP and supports the ideas of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the party’s flagbearer, the NPP has no hand in his political ambition.
