Alan Kyeremanten is the only person who can wrestle power from President John Dramani Mahama and the New Democratic Congress (NDC) government in 2016, his campaign team has said.
According to them, Alan Kyerematen’s involvement with the NPP’s grassroot supporters give him an added advantage over the other candidates vying to lead the party in the 2016 presidential election.
The Campaign Manager of Alan Kyeremanten, Kofi Dzamesi, made this known to Citi News ahead of their campaign launch on Saturday.
The campaign launch is aimed at creating a platform for Alan Kyeremanten to officially express his bid to lead the NPP in 2016 ahead of the party’s final delegates’ congress on October 18.
The former Trade and Industry Minister managed to secure 8 percent of total votes cast at the party’s first congress held to prune the number of aspirants from seven to five.
Kofi Osei Ameyaw and Joe Ghartey has however bowed out of the race despite making it into the next stage of the contest leaving Nana Akufo-Addo, Alan Kyeremanten and Francis Addai-Nimo in the race.
