He said that while top officials of the party and the government are declaring their support for a certain contender without consequences, persons declaring their support for him and the other candidates are being punished. He alleged the contractors who are declaring their support for some of the candidates in the race are being denied payment. “There is some sort of force being used – intimidation… those contractors who do not seem to be for this candidate are not paid when they complete their jobs. 10 people would be contesting in the NPP presidential primaries which are slated for August and November 2023.
