He disclosed there are private conversations among the top hierarchy of the party to see how they can unite the two leading contenders in the presidential primaries.

He is hopeful that a united front between vice president Bawumia and Trade Minister Alan Kyerematen would be the only option to defeating the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) at the polls.

In the view of the former Ellembele MP, both Bawumia and Kyerematen, who would be contesting the party’s presidential primaries next year, have the capabilities to secure victory for the party.

According to a GhanaWeb report, Freddy Blay told Oyerepa TV that uniting the two personalities would also bring the needed unity the party needs going into the crucial 2024 elections

“Almost all the candidates are capable of beating John Mahama in 2024. But I am thinking of a combination of two of them. I would have preferred Alan and Bawumia combination; that won’t be bad, it may do the trick for us,” he was hopeful.
