She added that Dr. Bawumia has undergone extensive public and political scrutiny over the years, with numerous allegations tested and, in her view, disproved, making him a safer and more predictable choice for the party.

The deputy spokesperson cautioned against introducing a new candidate who would face fresh political attacks and opposition propaganda, a scenario she warned could weaken the party’s electoral prospects.
