Akuapem South Member of Parliament(MP) Osei Bonsu (OB) Amoah, has said it was a personal decision to withdraw from Saturday\u2019s primaries. <\/p>\n

However, the Minister\u00a0of State at the\u00a0Ministry\u00a0of Local Government, Decentralization and Rural Development, says it was in the best interest of the NPP.<\/p>\n

In a letter addressed to the NPP on Tuesday, Mr Amoah announced his decision not to seek re-election and requested his name is removed from the ballot paper.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, the MP who doubles as the Chairman of the NPP Research Committee has pledged his active participation in party affairs. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is for the people to judge whether I will be missed or not, and I cannot say whether I will be missed or not. <\/p>\n

\u201cI have been in Parliament for four terms and have also served in the executive, gathering a lot of experience along the way. I am still active in the party. I withdrew for the national interest of the party and personal interest,\u201d he said in a Citi News report.<\/p>\n

He further called on Akuapem South delegates to ensure a peaceful, smooth process and rally behind the winner to retain the seat.<\/p>\n

Mr Amoah was in the race with three others including Kwame Ofori-Gyau, Eric Samuel Annor-Mensah, and Frank Aidoo, who holds the position of Municipal Chief Executive for Akuapem South.<\/p>\n
