Member of Parliament for Gushegu, Hassan Tampuli, has called on the aspirants in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer race, competing against Dr. Bawumia to remain in the contest, insisting that no candidate should be allowed to withdraw at this crucial stage.

Speaking on Channel One, Hon. Tampuli, who is among the 63 NPP Minority MPs that recently endorsed Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s presidential bid, said the internal competition has invigorated the party’s grassroots and should continue to its conclusion.

“As a matter of fact, we’re reliably informed that some of the aspirants actually want to quit the race; but it is too late,” he stated.“We’ll not even allow anybody to quit the race. Everybody must stay in the race. We must go all the way. It is getting very exciting; it’s gingering the base of the party and energising the base.”
