A flagbearer hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Alan John Kyerematen says he will revive the economy if elected as President of Ghana.

According to the former Trade Minister, the economic crisis the country is facing will be a thing of the past if the Ghanaina populace rallies their support behind him.

“The current challenges that confront our economy will hopefully be a thing of the past. I want to assure you that if through your blessings and prayers, your own son becomes the leader of our party and subsequently the President of this country, I will bring the economy back to life. It will not be through my effort but by the grace and mercy of Allah”, he said.

Speaking during his tour of the Northern Region, Mr Kyerematen said NPP initiated a lot of social intervention programmes but fears a non-NPP government will discontinue all of them if they win the 2024 general elections.

He said it is the reason why it is crucial for the NPP to break the eight.

“The President has introduced many important interventions in this country. We have introduced the Free SHS policy, the One District, One Factory Policy (1D1F), Planting for Food and Jobs and many others. Your Majesty, it will be a tragedy of history if the NPP is unable to continue in government. All these important initiatives will be discontinued if another government takes over", he stressed.

The flagbearer hopeful continued to say “it’s therefore, our wish that for the first time in the history of our country that the NPP can continue after eight years in office so that all of these laudable programmes will be sustained”.
