NPP Presidential Primaries: Alan Kyerematen submits his nomination forms

Hon. Alan Kyerematen, a former minister of trade and industry, was the first candidate to turn in his completed paperwork to run in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) primary elections in August 2023.

The forms were received by Mr. Evans Nimako, Director of Elections of the Party, who was accompanied by a large number of his supporters, including Members of Parliament, Ministers of State, former and current party officials, and youth organizations that all share his vision.

Among the ten candidates who have thus far chosen nomination forms for the party’s presidential primary, Hon Kyerematen emerged the first.

Following a generous act by market queens from the 16 regions of the nation, who did something never done before, Hon Kyerematen’s nomination forms were purchased and selected for him to run.

As supporters flocked to the party office to welcome Hon Kyerematen, former MP for Lambussie in the Upper West Region, Hon. Bright Bakye Yelviel Baligi, remarked, “My colleague MPs and I have the opportunity to be part of this historic moment.

I thus introduce to you, on behalf of my colleagues and on my own behalf, Mr. Industry, Hon. Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen, the next president of Ghana, the man of action and honesty, the unifier, the guy to rescue, rebuild, restore, and reward the party.

Those in attendance responded with a thunderous round of applause as a show of approval.

Mr. Kyerematen repeated his Great Transformational Plan (GTP), which would guide Ghana into a new period of stability, growth, and prosperity, during the filing ceremony for his nomination forms.

Mr. Kyerematen believed it would be an honor and a privilege to lead the NPP to a historic victory in the general election in 2024.

The former minister addressed the group, saying, “My brothers and sisters, it is with appreciation that I submit my legally filled candidacy forms to compete the flagbearsihp of our great party.In order to bring Ghana into a new age of stability, growth, and prosperity, it would be an honor and a privilege to lead this great party to a historic win in December 2024, he stated.

In January 2023, the Honorable Alan Kyerematen resigned from his position as Minister of Trade and Industry in order to pursue his presidential aspirations.

Before leaving office, he promoted the government’s One District One Factory (1D1F) initiative, which has subsequently given rise to more than 170 factories around the nation.
