Hudu Yahaya has said he does not regret stepping down from the governing party’s national delegates’ congress held Saturday in Kumasi. The Chairman-aspirant withdrew from the race at the last minute. He was contesting incumbent Dr Kwabena Adjei, former Minister of Trade and Industry Dan Abodakpi and eventual winner of the contest Kofi Portuphy.
Yahaya, a former General Secretary of the party, in a statement said though he was confident of victory at the congress grounds, he took into consideration the greater good of the party, based upon the advice of elders within the party, thus his decision to step down.
“It is a decision we have taken collectively and we do not regret it,” he stressed in the statement.
According to him, his decision was aimed at clearing a wrong perception that Northerners were taking over the party since both he and President John Mahama come from that part of the country.
He said the perception became even more widespread after the election of two Northerners as Youth Organiser and Women Organiser respectively.
