The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), according to Evans Nimako, Director of Elections and Research, has acknowledged that it will confront significant obstacles in the general elections of 2024.
He stated that the party will face certain obstacles in the polls the following year that could reduce their chances of victory.
In a Citi TV interview, he stated that one of the difficulties will be Alan Kyeremanten‘s departure from the party.
Evans Nimako wished Mr. Kyerematen would change his mind and come back to the elephant party.
“He has been a member of the party from its inception. He was part of the young executives. He has been in elections in this party at that level and not any other level but the presidential. He neither contested a national position nor an MP position. I wish Mr. Kyerematen had not left, but had stayed.”
He acknowledged that the party is facing some seemingly insurmountable obstacles as it prepares for the elections of 2024.
But when the presidential elections committee was engaging with him and his agents, he pulled his resignation from the party. That’s about it. He intends to contest the 2024 election as an independent candidate on his Movement. As we speak, he’s not a candidate yet. Because he may change his mind, that will be his decision. And so for me, it has happened, and this is not the first time it has happened.”
“NPP is certain that we are going into the elections with all these challenges. We are mindful of that,” the Director of Elections and Research of NPP said.
Following the party’s Special Delegates Conference in August, during which the field of presidential candidates was reduced to five, Mr. Kyerematen tendered his resignation from the organization in September.
Citing intimidation from his supporters and the party being allegedly taken over by a few, he formed his own Movement Party to run as an independent presidential candidate in the general elections of 2024.
