The embattled presidential nominee for the United Progressive Party (UPP), Kwasi Addai Odike, who formally informed the Electoral Commission (EC) on Wednesday that he is backing out of the 2016 presidential election has thrown his weight behind the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Odike says he will hold an official press conference on Monday, November 14 to invite all the ‘smaller’ political parties to join him in his bid to campaign for the NPP and its flagbearer to unseat President Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Odike announced the decision to abandon his presidential ambition, citing frustration by the Electoral Commission and its Chairperson, Charlotte Osei.
Speaking in an interview with Onua FM’s Ghana Dadwene Wednesday, Odike told the host, Kwame Karikari in Akan that “we need the one who can help us move Ghana forward so all the other parties must came together to vote out NDC in December”.
He said Americans have changed theirs and Ghana must also change that is “why I will support who will bring change to Ghanaians”.

Listen to this Man. Are you the one to hold press conference to advice others what to do. Think about yourself. President Mahama is running his second term as President. Do you have to change the one building roads, hospitals, schools and flyovers for someone who will now start. When you remember Nkrumah, you remembered what he did for Ghana and not what the people at that time wanted to feed on. When you listen to peoples hunger you cannot do anything for the nation. Please give a break.
Odike , do u know what are talking about? we wont give GHANA to nana addo and npp.
This Odike man is he...........? Anyway, every single vote counts so Odike, you are most welcome.
