“I’ll take this opportunity to congratulate the entire party to beging with and most definitely the flagberer of the party , Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia,” he said.

He described the candidates results as a good show for his first entrance.
“Bryan Acheampong, who I supported in the entire programme for his very tough, bold, approach to things. Though we were hopeful to win, it didn’t turn out that way. But I’m sure based on the good show for our new entrance I’m very positive that at least our message was received.”
He further praised the conduct of the elections and the institutions involved, describing the process as peaceful and orderly.
“The Electoral Commission carried themselves well. Things were orderly. The delegates themselves too I commend them. I haven’t heard of schemishes in terms of fighting and things of that sort. Also the police service, the presence was felt and security was too notch.”
