In a statement reminiscent of biblical reassurances, Alan Kyerematen, a flagbearer hopeful of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), has delivered a message of unwavering faith to his supporters after securing a third-place finish in the highly anticipated Super Delegate Conference.
The event, which recently unfolded, marked a crucial step in selecting the party’s flagbearer, as five out of the 10 initial aspirants earned their spots in the subsequent election round.
While political pundits had initially earmarked Mr. Kyerematen and Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the frontrunners, the surprise emergence of Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong in second place added an unexpected twist to the proceedings.
In a statement issued following the results, Mr. Kyerematen conveyed his heartfelt gratitude to his campaign team, family, and the delegates who cast their votes in his favour. However, his gratitude was tinged with concern as he lamented the unfortunate incident of his polling agent being subjected to a brutal assault in the North East region. This incident, he opined, cast a regrettable stain on the integrity of the NPP’s internal democratic process.
Mr. Kyerematen noted that his campaign team is analyzing the outcome of the Special Electoral College election, after which he intends to address the public through a broadcast. This broadcast would shed light on the direction his campaign would take moving forward, taking into consideration the intricate dynamics and insights garnered from the election results.
During the conference held on the 26th of August, 2023, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia clinched a resounding victory, capturing the hearts of the party members with an impressive 629 votes, translating to a staggering 68.15% of the total tally. In a surprising turn of events, Kennedy Agyapong emerged as the second most popular candidate, garnering 132 votes, equivalent to 14.30% of the votes cast.
Mr. Kyerematen, while securing the third position, managed to amass 95 votes, signifying 10.29% of the total votes.
Despite this outcome, his steadfast faith remained unshaken as he invoked a tone of divine providence, reminding his supporters that, just as in biblical times, the ultimate result lies in the hands of a higher power.
