“I am writing to formally notify the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) about my decision to withdraw from the Ayawaso West-Wuogon NDC parliamentary primaries. This decision was personal and was made after extensive consultations with key stakeholders, without any external influence,” he said in the letter dated August 7.
Nuamah, who also harbors political aspirations, stressed the importance of presenting a united front within the NDC for the upcoming 2024 general elections. He expressed his belief that the party’s unity and the success of the NDC flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, in his mission to improve Ghana, take precedence.
In light of his withdrawal, Nuamah has given his enthusiastic endorsement and support to his close friend, Mr. John Dumelo, as the preferred NDC parliamentary candidate for the Ayawaso West-Wuogon constituency.

He cherished their interactions and admired the grassroots enthusiasm in their shared pursuit of returning political power to the NDC and former President John Mahama, with the goal of bettering the lives of the Ghanaian people.
