The Northern Region Chapter of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have declared their support for the Trade and Industry Minister, Alan Kyerematen.

Mr Kyerematen who had visited Tamale on Sunday was mobbed by the masses with chants for his political endorsement.

Among the chants from the teeming fans were "No Alan No Vote" “AlanCash Aduruso" and “AlanCash the People’s Choice”.

Alan Kyerematen was accompanied by some prominent members of NPP, as well as some former and current Members of Parliament including Abubakar Saddique Boniface, Gifty Klenam, Sylvester Tetteh, Kofi Capito,  Ridwan Abbass and a host of others.

Mr Kyerematen and his delegation were received by distinguished senior members of the NPP in the Northern Region led by Hindu, former Northern regional Organizer of the New Patriotic Party and Northern Campaign Coordinator for the Alan for President volunteers movement and Raman Mumin COP, Business Executive and NPP Youth Activist

The bereaved Tahidu family is a known prominent family in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) fraternity in the Northern region of Ghana.

The late Fadila Tahidu was called to her maker on November 11,  2022, after a short illness.

Alan Kyerematen took to his Facebook page to commiserates with the bereaved family:

"My wife, Patricia and I have received with devastation and utter shock the untimely death of a hard-working, promising and loyal patriot, Fadila Tahidu. Fadila, who was like a daughter to me, passed on to glory on Friday at the Ridge Hospital in Accra, where earlier in the day l had visited to commiserate with the family. Fadila’s demise is indeed heartbreaking to my family and the New Patriotic Party.

“She was a loving “daughter” whose life has been cut short in her prime. In this time of sadness, I pray that Allah grants us the patience to bear this difficult loss. Our heartiest sympathy to her father, my very good friend, Alhaji Tahiru and the entire family. May Allah give Fadila an easy and pleasant journey and shower blessings on her grave."

It is highly expected that the Trade and Industry Minister will contest the upcoming Presidential Primaries of the NPP to lead the party in its quest to retain power come 2024.

This will be the 4th bid from  Alan Kyerematen in the quest to lead New Patriotic Party to the Presidential polls.
