He added that he would personally have aligned with Alan Kyerematen if he had resigned.

He explained that the structures within the party will militate against the reported interest of the Vice President to contest as flagbearer in the governing party.
“Bawumia…I did an interview. It was a foreign magazine. I will find out if I have a copy and I will show it to you where I made it plain that by the structure of our party, Bawumia cannot come to power.
“Bawumia is a fine gentleman. If Bawumia could have had that independent mind and strength and not just always be praising what the president has done or has not done, I will have looked at him differently,” he said.
