He prayed for a successful exercise.
Mr Wilbert Petty Brentum, a mining consultant who picked forms to contest in the Aowin constituency later told the Ghana News Agency that he decided not to file his nomination form again, based on the shared vision with his contender Mr Joseph Yensu and would rather support him to enhance the work in the constituency.
