The office of former president John Agyekum Kufuor has denied media reports suggesting that the statesman has endorsed the candidature of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as flagbearer of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP).
At a public event recently, Kufuor described Bawumia as a “true son” and a loyal party member.
