Former Trade and Industry Minister and New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen claims he is the only candidate who can easily win the 2024 election and break the eight-year political cycle.
During his tour of Greater Accra, Alan Kyerematen made this statement to NPP delegates in the Ablekuma West constituency.
Alan Kyerematen also brought up the President’s Special Initiatives (PSI) which was an accomplishment of the Kufuor administration, as a revolutionary idea of his that could’ve transformed Ghana’s economic trajectory.
Additionally, he said that has contributed significantly to the development of the country.
“With the amount of work I have done for this country, sometimes I even feel ashamed talking about it. In President Kufuor’s era, I was one of the senior ministers in Kufuor’s administration. I brought PSI (The President’s Special Initiatives), and if Ghanaians had listened to me, today Ghana wouldn’t have gone to the IMF, he said.
Alan Kyerematen urged the delegates to vote for him as Party leader regardless of the intimidation they might face.
The Minister of Railways, John Peter Amewu, who is working on the Alan Campaign, advised the delegates to choose a candidate who would easily lead the NPP to victory in the 2024 election.
“You don’t need to select a candidate who may lead you to become a winner, but through a difficult journey…. I think among all the candidates, I have identified a candidate that can give us an easy win, that person is Alan Kwadwo Kyrematen,” he said.
If the ten candidates are endorsed by the vetting committee to run for the position, the NPP will host a special delegate conference with 900 delegates to narrow the field down to five before its National Congress on November 4.
Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen, resigned from the Akufo-Addo government in January to pursue his presidential ambitions. In 2007, Alan launched his first run for the NPP leadership and received 32.3% of the vote, losing to Nana Akufo-Addo’s 47.96%. He ran again in 2010 and again in 2014, but both times, Akufo-Addo won the primary.
