An aspiring Convention People�s Party (CPP) presidential candidate, Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom, has said he does not spray money to woo supporters, but it takes a great deal of interaction with people to win their hearts.
The 2008 flagbearer of the CPP launched his bid to contest the flagbearership position of the party on Wednesday.
Speaking on Citi FM�s Eyewitness News, Dr. Nduom stated that his campaign launch attracted hundreds of party supporters including some national executives not because he dished out money, but for the fact that he opens up to them at anytime.
The former minister of state under the previous New Patriotic Party government, however, concurred money is key when running a political bid, but it takes several hands to fund it.
�In any country, money is important,� Dr. Nduom stressed. �I�m sure you�ve read about what Obama is raising. I was in Washington not too long ago and there was a fund raising event among African-Americans and it was US$10, 000 a plate. �
He added: �Where does that money go, it pays for his workers and adverts. So no matter what you do politics requires money, but nobody funds a campaign from their pockets only. �
