Gordon Asare-Bediako steps down from NPP Communications Director race, backs Dennis Aboagye

Key Points

  • Gordon Asare-Bediako has withdrawn his bid for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) National Communications Director position.
  • He announced his decision on Facebook, stating it followed consultations with family, friends, and party stakeholders.
  • Asare-Bediako emphasized that unity and the party's collective interest were more important than individual ambitions.
