What do people think this resignation says about the NDC primary process, especially with a senatorial aspirant leaving immediately?

I agree, a resignation by an aspirant naturally raises questions about how inclusive and credible the primary process feels.

The letter points to both personal considerations and concerns about the primaries, so this does not sound like a casual exit.

Resignations can raise questions, but one aspirant's departure alone does not settle whether the entire primary process was flawed.

The useful next step is to watch whether Orette explains his concerns further and how the NDC responds to them.
