Speaking about the selection process, Ronnie explained that the party is carefully considering its options, aiming to finalise two to three potential candidates per constituency before making the official announcements.
When asked about the potential impact of defections from the party, Bah Ronnie downplayed the issue. He asserted that the departure of MLAs and MDCs would not affect the party’s preparations, as there are already two to three strong candidates vying for MDC tickets in most constituencies.
