In his commentary on the internal flagbearer elections of Ghana’s two main parties, Manasseh Azure Awuni contends that although both parties covertly favor a weak opponent, the welfare of the country requires that both the NDC and the NPP field their best candidates.
“It is in the interest of the NDC that the NPP elect a bad candidate, and it is in the interest of the NPP that the NDC elect a bad candidate. However, it is in the interest of our democracy and the well-being of Ghanaians that both parties put their best foot forward,” he posted on his Facebook page.
Manasseh turned to the NPP’s campaign and cautiously endorsed Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, citing his background in administration as well as the history of first-time losers who went on to win.
“Dr. Bawumia has been part of a failed regime, but in my article, in which I intend to explain why I think Bawumia should lead the NPP, I will also explain why Bawumia’s failure in that regime is enough to disqualify his internal opponents if that failure were to form the basis for his rejection in the internal race.”
