New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, has condemned the attack on his campaign coordinator, Ali Zakaria, in the North East region.
Alan Kyerematen said that the action was unnecessary and unjustified because his representative had behaved properly at the voting location.
The incident, he continued, is a stain on the party’s internal democracy process making him to doubt if the party can organized a proper election with over 200,000 voters in the upcoming presidential primaries on November 4, 2023.
“Mr. Alan Kyerematen was speaking to the media, he said: “I am not going to tolerate this behaviour. It doesn’t make sense and when we cannot conduct ourselves as a family trying to select a leader in a peaceful and organized manner, how do we intend to be able to do same kind process when we have 200,000 plus people gathered,” he lamented.

In a related news, Minister for Food and Agriculture and MP For Abetifi Constituency, Hon. Bryan Acheampong has said the upcoming New Patriotic Party November 4th presidential election is a foregone conclusion for the other four aspirants contesting with Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
His comments comes after the vice president shockingly got 629 of the 956 total votes cats during the special delegates congress which took place last Saturday to trim the number from 10 to 5.
Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM, Bryan Acheampong said he would plead with the other presidential hopefuls to step down and allow Dr. Bawumia to lead the NPP in the 2024 election.
According to him, if they do this, they will be forever be remembered by the party years to come.
“November 4th election is a foregone conclusion. I will plead with the other candidates to give up and be remembered by the party. Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is NPP’s candidate ahead of the 2024 election. The NPP’s spirit is behind Dr. Bawumia,” he said.
