The team appealed to all supporters of Mr Kyerematen to throw their weight behind the Vice President in “breaking the eight,” despite the former min­ister’s decision to quit the party’s presidential race.

A statement released yesterday by a leading member of the Vice President’s campaign team, Mr Sammy Awuku, said “this is the time to reach out to each and every one to make the 2024 cam­paign and election victory possible to the NPP.

The team said though challeng­es been faced by the NPP and country appeared to be fearsome, there would be victory at the end.
    

The statement gave the as­surance that Dr Bawumia and his team will carry along NPP sup­porters and sympathisers outside the party, to once again deliver victory in the forthcoming polls.

The statement said that al­though the journey to victory would not be easy, with all sup­porters coming on board to play their roles effectively, Dr Bawumia could surely lead the party in breaking the eight.

“To all the supporters of the candidates who couldn’t make it to the top five and supporters of aspirants who made it to the top five, please let’s come together.

Let’s solve our problems to­gether and once again position the NPP still as the party of choice ahead of the 2024 general elec­tions to deliver economic pros­perity for our nation, Ghana,” the statement said.

The Alan Kyerematen campaign team on Tuesday announce the shocking withdrawal of their can­didate from the NPP presidential election schedule on November 4, 2023, after the just ended Super Delegate Conference to select the best first five out of the 10 aspirants.

Although, Alan was able to take a slot in the first five, he stated that his withdrawal from the presi­dential race was due to the level of intimidation of varying intensity, directly and indirectly, unleashed on a significant number of del­egates at various voting centers across the sixteen regions.

He however stated that, in the next coming weeks, he would provide an indication on the role to play in Ghana’s politics.

Mr Boakye Kyeremateng Ag­yarko who was a contestant of the Presidential race of the party, some few days ago also withdrawn from the upcoming run-off elec­tion to determine the 5th position.

His decision came after the NPP announced that its National Council will constitute an electoral college to break the tie between him and his competitor, Francis Addai Nimoh, who were both 5th in the just ended super delegate conference.

But in a press release, Mr Agyarko described it as unconsti­tutional for the National Council to shortlist a few individuals to represent the 955 individuals who participated in the first round.

He was of the view that, the es­tablishment of an electoral college flout the party’s constitution.
