The Council of Elders is set to deliberate on the nomination on Thursday, March 7, 2024, followed by a National Executive Committee meeting at 3 pm on the same day for further discussions.

“This decision will forestall or prevent unnecessary tension, rivalry, and competition, and some people were thinking that if this slot was given to someone else, it would have given a heads-up to that person because that candidate would have sought to replace John,” Professor Gyampo said in an interview with Citi News.
