Businessman Ernest Kwaku Kobeah has denied claims that he was forced out of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential race.
The businessman, who lives in the United Kingdom, told Kwabena Agyapong of Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm that his decision to withdraw from the race was voluntary.
He has therefore asked the general public to ignore the false claims.
According to him, he picked up his forms, filed and paid the filing fee and prepared for his vetting, but at the last hour, he decided to pull out and declare his support for Mr. Mahama based on consultations with his grandfather and others.
”I was not forced to withdraw. I voluntarily withdrew from the race and declared my support for Mr. Mahama,” he said.
Mr. Kobeah noted that he got no problem with paying the filing fee, and that would go to support the party’s campaign activities in 2024.
”I have no problem paying the filing fee. I took a decision, and I have no problem paying the money. I took this decision for the love of the party,” he said.
Meanwhile, he has expressed strong optimism that his support for Mr. Maham would make him win massively on May 13, 2023, when the party goes to the polls.
