Republican, Ben Carson, has withdrawn his bid to
emerge as the party’s presidential candidate for the
2016 election.
Carson, a retired neurosurgeon, had been a front-
runner, but his campaign stalled in recent months
after he performed badly on foreign affairs and
questions about his background story.
He has not said which of the remaining four
candidates he plans to endorse in the race for the
republican nomination.
Mr Carson had earned only eight delegates before his
decision to drop out from the nomination race.
Republicans in four states – Kansas, Kentucky,
Louisiana and Maine – would go to the polls on
Saturday.
Earlier on Friday, Mr Carson was announced as a new
Chairman of My Faith Votes – a group set up to
encourage Christians to vote in elections.
Mr Carson had a poor upbringing in Detroit but made
it to Yale before a brilliant medical career.
