Alan Kyerematen rallies NPP delegates to vote for a candidate Ghanaians will prefer

Addressing the group at a recent party engagement, the former MP called on the rank and file of the party to ignore propaganda that describes the NPP as an Akan party and vote for Dr Bawumia.

He said the NPP is a party that has a track record of embracing every ethnic group in the country and added that it cuts across all ethnic persuasions.

Explaining further he said, the founding fathers of the party were not only Akans hence the labelling of the NPP as an Akan party, forms part of a smear campaign to create a false impression to northerners that Akans in the NPP party dictated the pace.

Netizens have been reacting to the endorsement, some of which have been sampled by YEN.com.gh.

Best to lead And next await u DMB

Nii Amaa Akita

I would have thought that delegates will wait for the party’s program and also give themselves an opportunity to evaluate all the candidates first. Same with NDC where it is JDM and nobody else.

Gabriel Yeboah

For now, DMB is yet to officially declare his intention to contest. Let us wait for that day. For some of us, HE IS NOT 80 YEARS and a GRANDFATHER... so heeding to JDMs words, he'll be the best choice to lead the country

Abdul Rahaman

Fear delegate, since I am a Spector I am waiting for the outcomes I wish them all the best
