Mr Afful&#8217;s letter officially endorsed Philip Kwabena Agyemang, known as Roman Fada, as the party&#8217;s new presidential candidate, following the EC&#8217;s mandate to nominate a replacement within 10 days, in accordance with Article 40(4) of the 1992 Constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the party&#8217;s National Organiser submitted a contradictory letter, claiming that after consultations with Madam Donkor&#8217;s family, the GFP had chosen to withdraw from the presidential race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The General Secretary clarified that the party had followed the late Akua Donkor\u2019s final instructions, which included consulting senior party executives and four parliamentary candidates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to him, this group unanimously supported the decision to select Philip Appiah Kubi as the GFP\u2019s new presidential candidate, with Vida Eshong as his running mate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We have done exactly what our mother asked to be done.
