Dr. Kwabena Duffuor has withdrawn from the NDC presidential race.
The former finance minister said the issues for which went to court to injunct the process and later withdrew had still not been addressed.
According to him, although he was assured the challenges he had identified would be addressed, the party failed to do that.
Addressing a presser on Friday evening, the former governor of the Bank of Ghana revealed he withdrew from the race on his grievances with the processes.
“As at this time, the party has begun distributing the ballot papers to the various regions and constituencies without our involvement. I wish to reiterate my commitment to the party and grassroots, however my concerns that the party is not ready to conduct free and fair elections is evident for all of us to see,” Dr Duffour said.
“Taking part in such an event will be acting to knowing drinking from a poisoned calabash. After consulting with my support base nationwide, I have been left with no choice but to withdraw as I cannot contest in an election blatantly flawed with irregularities regardless of all my effort to draw attention to the same.”
