“I was surprised with the results that came from the various regions because they were not the figures that I was hoping to get, and I was disappointed with what I had in the Ashanti Region which is my own region.”He made this comment on Citi TV‘s Face to Face show.

When queried about whether the party's flagbearer race revolves around convictions, policies, views, or monetary resources, the aspirant, whose chances of securing a spot among the top five for the November 4 ordinary party conference depend on the September 2 election, outlined three key factors. These factors include integrity and intelligence.

“I know of financial influence and there are three things that I will want to talk about which include financial influence, integrity, and intelligence and I will put integrity and intelligence to be one and financial influence to stand alone.”He advised delegates not to focus solely on money when electing leaders for the party, but also to consider the integrity and intelligence of the aspirants.

“One must assess between financial influence and integrity and intelligence, and decide which one to go for when deciding who is the most suitable person to whom I should give my vote. So, my advice to delegates is that there is always motivation, but also look at integrity and intelligence. In the end, you are looking for someone in whom you can place your trust, someone who can manage your resources and use them for your benefit.

So, only vote for the most suitable person.”
