Nana Agyenim Boateng, the flagbearer of the United Front Party (UFP), has announced his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race, endorsing Vice-President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
During a press conference in Kumasi on September 18, the UFP leader emphasized his party’s alignment with Dr. Bawumia’s vision and policy agenda for Ghana’s development.
We have deeply considered matters of national interest. After weeks of intensive deliberations, we have reached a clear conviction that the vision and development plan presented by Dr Bawumia and the NPP align with ours. We are witnesses to the massive development of infrastructure and the positive impact on lives
He urged other political parties to prioritize the nation’s best interests by fostering peace and development.
We wish to urge all other political persuasions to consider reviewing their agenda and take actions that will promote peace rather than embarking on violent and disruptive actions
The UFP leader gained attention in 2020 when he filed a lawsuit against the Electoral Commission (EC) in the High Court after being disqualified from the presidential race.
He sought a certiorari order to overturn the EC’s decision and a prohibition order to prevent the EC from holding elections without his participation. However, the case was ultimately dismissed.
