Former Education Minister, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, has officially announced his intention to contest the New Patriotic Party(NPP) flagbearership race.
According to him, he will pick forms when nominations are opened by the party.
He made his intentions known on his Facebook page on Tuesday, June 18.
In his post, Dr. Adutwum stated, “With humility, conviction, and a resolute heart, I, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, declare my intent to run for the Flagbearership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), should nominations be officially opened by the party.”
