She asked the delegates not to allow aspirants to influence them with money instead they should critically assess the potential candidates.
The aspirants, Mr Oscar Odoi Glover, a business executive, Dr. Francis A. Sowah, a lawyer, Mr. Godfried Ako-Nai, former Member of Parliament for the constituency, Miss Banny Brown, former Assemblywoman for Kaajaano Electoral Area and Mr James Akrong, Accountant, addressed the gathering.
