Alan Kyerematen’s Potential Withdrawal:
Surprising reports suggest that former Trade Minister Alan Kyerematen is contemplating withdrawing from the upcoming NPP Presidential Primary on November 4. This follows his disappointing third-place finish in the Super Delegates Conference, where he garnered only 95 out of 961 votes.
Super Delegates Conference Results:
During the conference, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia secured a significant lead with 629 votes (68.15%), while Kennedy Agyapong surprisingly came in second with 132 votes (14.30%). Kyerematen’s distant third-place finish prompts reevaluation within his campaign team.
Addressing the Situation:
Scheduled to address the situation on September 5, Kyerematen may announce his decision regarding the race. The campaign team is actively considering options, including withdrawal, forming an alliance, or continuing with the primary despite challenges.
“We have extensively analyzed all three options, and many are of the view that Chief Alan should withdraw,” a source within the campaign revealed. However, the decision to withdraw and stay on the fence remains uncertain.
Exploring Alliances and Mergers:
Discussions with other candidates who performed poorly in the Super Delegates Conference about merging campaigns have taken place. No final decisions have been made, but considerations include the potential benefits of collaboration.
Coordinators supporting Kyerematen across the country express disappointment in the limited votes he received, advocating for withdrawal to protest perceived conference shortcomings and avoid further potential embarrassment.
Awaiting Kyerematen’s Announcement:
As the political landscape evolves, Alan Kyerematen’s upcoming announcement could reshape the dynamics of the NPP presidential race. All eyes are on the decision, which may bring forth significant changes to the unfolding political narrative.
