ALAN KYEREMANTEN OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCES PRESIDENTIAL AMBITION DAYS AFTER RESIGNING AS TRADE MINISTER

I wish to use this platform to formally announce my decision to contest the flagbearership of the New Patriotic Party when the Party officially opens nominations for that purpose

I wish to express formally, my profound gratitude to His Excellency the President for the opportunity given me to serve the good people of Ghana in his administration over the last six years.

Fellow countrymen and women, if by the will of God and through your goodwill, I am voted first, as the flagbearer of the NPP and subsequently as President of the Republic in the next general elections, I will become the transformational leader of our time, who will build on the foundations laid by successive leaders of our nation over the last sixty-five (65) years

Dr. Bawumia and Honorable Kennedy Agyapong will be Alan Kyerematen’s opponents in the race to become the NPP flagbearer.

In order to devote all of his attention to his bid for the presidency, the minister of agriculture, Dr. Osei Akoto, is said to have given the president a letter of resignation.

The NPP’s flagbearership race will be a hotly contested one because all of the candidates have clout in the political world.
