A key member of the Bawumia presidential campaign, Sammi Awuku, has made a passionate appeal to members of the different presidential campaign teams to support the vice president.
Awuku's appeal on Facebook comes after a key contender in the party's flagbearer race pulled out, citing alleged instances of intimidation and a centralised rigging system that favours Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

Alan Kyerematen, one of the main flagbearer candidates of the governing party withdrew from the race in a statement dated September 5, 2023.
“ I will provide an indication of the role that I will play in politics in Ghana, after consultations with my family and other well-wishers, various stakeholders and interest groups,” he explained.
