The former General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party(NPP) Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie aka Sir John has said apart from veep Dr. Bawumia, any members of the party who has the ambition of becoming flagbearer after Akufo Addo’s 8-year reign should jettison that aspiration.
The Trade and Industry Minister, Alan Kyeremanten is highly tipped by political analysts to lead the party after Nana Akufo-Addo.
Alan Kyerematen is a man who has always competed against President Akufo-Addo for the NPP’s flagbearership. In 2008, 2012 and even in 2016 he contested against Nana Addo to become the presidential candidate of the NPP but lost on all occasions.
But Sir John, who is also the Chief Executive Officer of the Forestry Commission in an interview said the NPP will be doing itself great injustice if another person other than Dr. Bawumia takes over as the party’s flagbearer after President Akufo Addo.
“The NPP is from the Danquah-Busia-Dombo tradition, Danquah is having his turn at the Presidency being represented by President Akufo Addo, Busia has also had his turn represented by ex-President Kufuor, it is now left with Dombo, where is Dombo? he’ll be represented by Dr. Bawumia when he becomes President. Nobody will dare contest Dr. Bawumia after President Akufo Addo has ended his 8-year rule. There is no argument about this. If the NPP indeed believes in the Danquah-Busia-Dombo tradition, then that is the way. Look at how the humble S.D Dombo then leader of the Northern Peoples Party (NPP) handed over the leader of the opposition role in Parliament to Dr. Busia when our part only had two seats in Parliament. Dombo certainly needs to be represented and that will be done by Dr. Bawumia.”

Sir John paaaaaaa, you want npp to be in opposition for a long time again. This liar that every Ghanaian is against is the one you want us to choose in place of nana addo. With the things he said against mahama and now how the economy is heading, it will cool chop for mahama against him.
bawumia is the best fit for the position. i haven't any qualities in kyeremateng to be president. what has he done to implement the i district 1 factory concept?
who are u to dictate to a party as big as the NPP? because of people like you some of us may not vote for NPP again. You may be doing evil rather to a fine gentleman like bawumia if u go this tangent. wait, let nana addo complete his term and let the delegates decide. we dont need you to tell us this. please, you are too old for this cheap infantile behaviour. grow massa
