The Minister for Trade and Industry and a presidential aspirant of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr John Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, has promised to pay for the production and printing of the NPP delegates’ album for all 276 constituencies across the country, ahead of the Party’s Presidential Primary.
The seasoned politician made this pledge during his official meeting with the new National Executives of the party at the National Headquarters at Asylum Down in Accra.
In addition to the pledge, Alan Cash, as he is known, donated an amount of GHC100,000 to the NPP National Headquarters to support the National Executives in the day-to-day administration and management of the activities of the party.
The meeting, which was to interact with the hierarchy of the party, in line with solidifying relationships between the Party and the government, saw scores of top-ranking officials joining the Minister.
Addressing the assembled Party faithful, Alan Cash, as he is politically identified, urged the leadership of the party to earn the trust of the grassroots voters by conducting a fair and unbiased election.
He called on the party faithful to rally behind the leadership of the party and government in these testing times.
“We can only break the ‘8’ if we stay together and act as a unit. We can survive through cooperation and commitment to our various duties. The National Executives will organise one of the best National Delegates Conferences in recent years.
“To this end, I am going to fund the entire printing cost of all 275 constituency Delegates’ albums. It is to help the party conduct the election as a patriot myself. A free and fair election will trickle down to the average voter since they won’t feel manipulated or machinated”, Alan Kyerematen told the party faithful assembled.
The soft-spoken Trade and Industry Minister also urged the party faithful to support the government in its industrial transformation drive and job creation and also to discuss how the party can win the 2024 General elections.
He used the platform to highlight the success stories of the viral 1D1F programme among a host of activities that the party can take advantage of and Communicate to Ghanaians the benefits that they can derive from them.
Accompanying the Trade and Industry Minister were Sylvester Tetteh, MP for Ngleshie Amanfrom, Carlos Ahenkora, MP for Tema West, Catherine Afeku, former Minister for Tourism, Yaw Buaben Asamoa, former MP for Adenta, Dr Alhassan Samare,former Upper East Regional Minister, Alhaji Mumin COP, aka Jack Sparrow, a Senior NPP member in the Northern Region and Board chairman of GNPA and others.
The Trade and Industry Minister has already contested in three previous Presidential Primaries and has been heavily tipped by political experts to replace Akuffo Addo as the Presidential Candidate for NPP in the 2024 General Elections.
He will be challenged by Kennedy Ohene Agyapong and H.E. Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in the internal contest.
