Meanwhile, Asiedu Nketiah, has shed light on the reasons behind his ongoing “Thank You Tour,” which generated speculation within political circles.
Speaking to party executives and members in the Akuapem North Constituency, Asiedu Nketiah recounted the strategic division of responsibilities during the 2024 campaign.
According to him, the national executives created three campaign teams one led by President John Dramani Mahama, another by Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, and the third by himself as National Chairman.
He explained that while President Mahama and Professor Opoku-Agyemang concentrated on the presidential race, he was tasked with steering the parliamentary campaign.
“We realised that the elections had two main fronts the presidential and parliamentary. It was important for President Mahama to focus entirely on the presidential contest, while my team worked to secure parliamentary seats,” he said.
