In a Tuesday meeting with the Parliamentary Minority Caucus, the ex-President revealed this information.
The members went to Mr. Mahama’s office to tell him that if he announces his candidacy for flagbearer, they will support him. At the meeting, the former President told the members that he would run for president again, and he also said that he would soon make the news public.
