A New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate hopeful, Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen, has appealed to Ghanaians to vote to maintain his party in power in 2024.

According to him, this would contribute to maximize gains of the “solid foundation” laid by the Akufo-Addo government within the last 6 years. 

Speaking at a media engagement in Ho during his tour of the Volta Region, Mr. Kyeremanteng said maintaining the NPP in power would ensure continuity of governance and a smooth administration of the state. 

He said that policies and programs introduced by the government transcended into the growth of the economy before the COVID-19 pandemic struck. 

He disclosed that his Great Transformational Plan (GTP) is engineered to diversify the country’s economy by introducing 10 new sectors among other practicable initiatives to restore the economy,

Mr. Kyeremanteng asserted that only he can lead the NPP to victory in 2024 because he is capable of transforming the economy and his name resonates with the electorates in every nook and cranny of the country. 

He said the establishment of about 6 new automobile assembling factories in Ghana, and the success of the 1 District 1 factory policy, among others indicates he is capable of leading "Ghana to rise again".

He further indicated that the NPP must select a candidate who can increase its electoral fortunes in the Ashanti Region and reduce votes of the National Democratic Party (NDC) in the Volta Region to win the general elections. 

“If we want to win this very important and difficult election ahead of us, we need a leader of our party who has the capacity to consolidate our gains in our stronghold. 

"We need a leader who can win at least 80% of the votes in the Ashanti Region. For me, Alan is our best choice to do that.

"We also need a leader who can reduce the difference of our opponents in their stronghold, again to do that, Alan is the candidate”, he said. 

He lamented the NPP’s inability to rake in a substantial percentage of total votes in the Volta Region in previous general elections. 

“As I have said, people of the Volta Region have taken me as their son, as their friend, as their brother.

All that the people of the Volta Region are saying to the NPP is that if you bring Alan, we will vote for him”, he stressed.

He earlier held a closed-door meeting with NPP Executives in the region, and later took a tour of the Ho Central Market where he interacted with traders.
