Desoso, who also lost as a National Organiser contender at the NDC delegates congress over the weekend, said it's time to take a break.
“I have done politics for 39 good years and I have never been on leave. I am taking a break, I am not quitting the party, I wish everybody in the party well", she said.
She, however, added that she is not quitting the NDC as it is being speculated in the media.

She added that, "I thank all the people who voted for me, although it didn’t go as we expected."
