Akufo-Addo Launches Campaign Agenda In Favour Of Alan Kyeremanten Over Bawumia?

President Akufo-Addo in a space of 2-days has extolled trade minister, Alan Kyermanten in the presence of Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, and congregants at the McKeown temple of the Church of Pentecost in Asokwa Constituency.

The president while addressing the congregants described Alan as ‘famous’ and ‘most hardworking’.

Alan is known to be contesting to be flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) although he is yet to officially declare his stance ahead of the 2024 elections.

The President had earlier announced Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen as well as the Minister of Agriculture, Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto as contenders for the next flagbearer of the ruling NPP as his tenure comes to an end.

The President did the announcement at the Manhyia Palace, the seat of the Asantehene, on Friday, October 1, 2021 as part of his tour in the Ashanti Region.

“Nana let me introduce my team,” he started. “This is your grandson Dr Afriyie Akoto, my Agric Minister who wants to become the president.”

Sitting next to the Agric Minister was Mr Kyerematen as introduced by the President.

“Nana, this is Alan Kyeremanten, he has been vying for my seat for a very long time, a very workaholic minister,” he chuckled amidst loud noise from the crowd gathered at Manhyia.

This move by President Akufo-Addo has got people talking, with many suggesting that he may prefer Alan as his replacement ahead of Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
