- Speaking to journalists at his residence, Dr Bawumia thanked the party for the confidence reposed in him but added that any disunity amongst the aspirants would scuttle the party’s chances of winning the 2024 elections.
- “I am very humbled and very grateful for this election but this is only the first step of winning the flagbearership of the party, so I know that there is work ahead,” Dr Bawumia said, adding “The main event is December 2024, and as we all work together we have to keep in mind that what we are working towards is a win in December 2024.”
- “This will require a lot of unity amongst ourselves and amongst all the flagbearer hopefuls. It is very important that as we go on this journey towards December 2024, we don’t have cracks in our ranks. We have to all work together and not destroy this very important unity that we have.”
