In the Offinso North, Offinso South, and Afigya Kwabere Constituencies in the Ashanti region, supporters of Alan Kwadwo Kyeremanten and NPP flag bearer candidate Kennedy Agyapong have expressed their support for Vice President Dr. Mahammadu Bawumia.
Spokesperson for the group and Vice chairman of the Offinso North Constituency, said during a news conference that “although they believed in the brand Alan Kyerematen vision for Ghana, however, Alan’s resignation from the NPP ahead of the November 4th 2023 presidential primaries has compel them to work and vote for a credible candidate who is equally competent to lead NPP and Ghana’’.
He described Alan’s resignation as shocking “I was shocked when I heard the resignation by Alan from the NPP. That’s past now and I have moved on. I was responsible for coordination of his campaign activities in 15 constituencies. I was earlier invited to work for Kennedy Ohene Agyapong but I declined to join the winning team. We are very few here now but trust me there are a lot of people I’m bringing to the camp of Dr. Bawumia from Alan’s Camp within the NPP.’’
He also urged all supporters of Alan Kyerematen and Kennedy Agyapong to follow the example of openly supporting Vice President Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia and throw their support behind him in preparation for the November 4th election.
During a press conference, New Patriotic Party supporters wearing Alan Kyerematen campaign T-shirts removed them and displayed Dr. Bawumia’s campaign T-shirt, affirming their complete shift from their previous allegiance.
Campaign activities led by Kennedy Ohene Agyapong and Vice President Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia have intensified throughout the region.
Kennedy Agyapong has been notably influential at the grassroots level, potentially affecting Dr. Bawumia’s target vote in the Ashanti region.
The Second Lady, Samiratu Bawumia, is set to embark on a 3-day campaign tour in the Ashanti region starting on Monday, October 16, 2023.
Her tour will involve meetings with regional executives, constituency executives, polling station executives, coordinators, and party delegates.
The Second Lady’s campaign tour aims to shed more light on why party delegates should consider her husband, Dr. Bawumia, as the best candidate to lead the NPP into the 2024 elections.
