John Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, a New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer candidate, has made his claim as the finest candidate to defeat Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2024 elections and build the next NPP government.
The former Trade Minister was convicted after meeting with all delegates from the Ashanti Region’s 47 constituencies ahead of the party’s presidential primary.
Mr. Kyerematen, who toured the region addressing delegates in durbars for a week, said he is ready to challenge John Dramani Mahama and urged delegates to elect him NPP flagbearer in order to push the bitter pill of loss down Mahama’s throat.
He assured that if he is granted the mandate to lead the party, he will do so.
According to the former Minister of Trade and Industry, Mahama’s track record as vice president and president demonstrates that he is a poor economic manager.
As a result, he requested that delegates vote in the NPP primaries so that he may use his skills and vision to serve Ghanaians.
He feels that a contest between Mahama and himself would make it easier for the NPP to obtain at least 54% of the votes cast in order to ‘break the eight’.
Alan Cash, as he is commonly known, stated that it is dependent on delegates to select the proper leader to resuscitate the economy, just as it did after President Kufuor left office in 2009.
He mentioned that the choice of delegates to select a qualified person to implement effective and efficient actions to address the issue gave them the authority to resuscitate the economy.
According to him, the solution to Ghana’s economic problems resides in his Great Transformational Plan, which he describes as the ideal intervention to see Ghana flourish again.
“I can assure delegates and Ghanaians at large that I will bring hope to Ghana because I will deliver,” Mr. Kyerematen promised.
