Minister for Trade and Industry, Alan Kyerematen, has paid for the nomination forms of all aspiring polling station executives of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) across the country.

The Minister funded the entire nomination forms in all 275 constituencies to facilitate the ongoing polling station-level election process within the elephant family.

To lessen the burden on the grassroots leaders, the hugely revered party stalwart sent out monies to the various constituencies to cover the cost which otherwise would have been borne by the grassroots members of the party.

In the case of orphan constituencies, Mr Alan Kyerematen paid for both the nomination forms and the cost of the passport pictures of the aspiring polling station executives.

This gesture forms part of longstanding efforts by Mr Kyerematen to support polling station executives as he is noted to place much emphasis on the well-being of the grassroots of the New Patriotic Party.

Sources say political pundits and experts have already earmarked the Minister as one of the many individuals likely to replace President Akufo-Addo as the next presidential candidate of the NPP heading into the 2024 general election.
