An aspiring presidential candidate of the largest opposition, National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr Kwabena Duffour has vowed to return the party to power in 2024 general election when giving he chance to lead it.
According to Dr Duffuor, who is a former Minister of Finance and Economic Planning, he has the strong conviction that he is not only politically experienced, but a unifier with the ability to galvanise rank and file of the party to victory.
He said the current economic challenges was not enough evidence to wrestle power from the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) rather unity with a common purpose.
To this end, he urged those seeking for various positions in the party to do so with decorum, devoid of insults and attacks on opponents, since the party would have to spend more on damage controls that it would positively project its image.
