Npp Flagbearership Race: It’s Time For Bawumiah And Others To Sacrifice For Me To Lead

Alan Kyerematen, Minister of Trade and Industry has made clear his intentions of contesting for the flagbearer position of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The Minister is known to be a frontrunner in the keenly awaited race to lead the NPP into the 2024 elections, with Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia his closest contender.

Addressing a crowd of party faithful, he is heard saying: “You remember when we went to Legon to elect a leader, you remember there were only two people out of the 17, who and who? Alan and Nana Addo, you remember?

“I had over 32% and Nana had over 40%, but because of the unity of the party, I decided that I will support Nana so that we all rally behind him. It is time for other people to sacrifice and give Alan the chance to lead this party,” he stated.

The race for who leads the NPP has heated up since Akufo-Addo secured his final mandate after the 2020 polls. The party’s `Break The 8′ slogan has also gained ground as they look to win a historic third successive tenure.

But in sharp rebuttal the Technical Advisor on Ghana’s Economic Management Team and Spokesperson to the Vice President who is the Head of the Economic Management Team and former Ashanti Regional Youth Organizer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Gideon Boako says once you withdrew your commitment from the party the consequential assurance also stands withdrawn.

He made this statement on his Facebook wall today.

According to him any desperate and awkward attempt to create a false impression is laughable.
