I never said there shouldn’t be a second round if a person obtains 70% votes - Kyei-Mensa-Bonsu

The Majority leader in Parliament and a supporter of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, has debunked the assertion that he proposed for the NPP to just call off the November elections if any candidate obtained 70% in the just-ended Super Delegates Conference.

Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu added that it is false information and he has never uttered anywhere that there shouldn’t be a second round in the NPP presidential elections.

The Majority leader made this comment when he was speaking to a reporter from TV3.

“It was a misinformation that was being peddled. I had never said so anywhere,” he said.

He also added that there were plots to attack him on the NPP election grounds because people believed he said that.

“When I got to the grounds, they raised the issue; This is Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, he is the one coming; he said that there should be no second round if a candidate obtains 70% of the votes so, heckle him. I heard that,” he added.

Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu has been an ardent supporter of Dr. Bawumia to take over the flagbearer position of the NPP.

Before the August 26 Super Delegates Conference, he predicted a 70% win for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
