Speaking to Citi News’ Magadalene Larnyoh, Awa said: “Having gone to all the polling stations and discussed with a lot of people in the constituency, I’m highly enthused that when we rally behind Dr. Richard Anane,the party will help him retain his seat come 2016.”

She believes her decision will also help “bring Nana Addo into power.”

“Our current economic challenges demand that the NPP and Ghana as a whole select people like Dr. Richard Anane in Parliament,” she added.

Awa’s move to bow out of the race now leaves four people to contest for the seat. They are Dr. Richard Anane, Kennedy Kwasi Kankam, Stephen Amoah and Kwaku Appiah-Menka.
