Former Central Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Bernard Allotey Jacobs has announced his retirement from active politics after the 2024 general elections.
According to the former NDC man, he is only waiting to cast his vote for presidential candidate of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia come December 7 before taking a bow from active politics.
“For me, I am going on retirement. Getting to the elections I will go on retirement; I will no longer engage in politics,” he disclosed during the Thursday, June 20, 2024, edition of Peace FM’s Kokrokoo morning show.
“Before the elections; after voting I have retired. Once I give this my thumb to Dr Bawumia, I am done. I am going home on retirement be it speaking on radio or whatever,” he added.
While away from politics, Allotey Jacobs said he will focus on activities such as rearing his fowls and pigs.
Allotey Jacobs has on various occasions openly endorsed Dr. Bawumia as the next president of Ghana.
The 2024 presidential race has the vice president and NDC flagbearer, former President John Dramani Mahama as the frontrunners.
