Sylvester Tetteh, the Greater Accra Regional Campaign Manager for Alan Kyerematen, has advised Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign team not to overly focus on winning the bragging rights in today’s special delegates’ conference.
He cautioned that placing too much emphasis on this victory might lead to disappointment during the main primaries.
Tetteh remarked, “For the bragging rights, you may be first in having the bragging rights, but I tell you it is likely that someone will get zero on Saturday. When we started this race, the talks about getting 90 percent and whitewashing everybody to score 90. Interestingly, just yesterday the numbers have been scaled down to 60 percent. Tomorrow, don’t be surprised if it is scaled down further.”
Mr. Sylvester Tetteh, who also serves as the Member of Parliament for Bortianor-Ngleshie Amanfro Constituency, shared his thoughts in response to the Bawumia team’s assertion that they would secure the top spot in today’s polls.
He expressed confidence in their campaign’s performance and emphasized that the crucial moment would be on November 4th when the top five candidates are selected.
He added, “But let me tell you, we are comfortable and the expectation of people will be disappointed on Saturday. However, I think that the most important of all is on November 4th because we will be part of the five, they can decide to have the bragging rights.”
Meanwhile, members of the NPP in the Kwadaso Constituency remain steadfast in their support for their former Member of Parliament, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto, as the favored flagbearer for the party. The party members, including polling station executives and coordinators, stand firm in their belief in Dr. Akoto’s leadership within the NPP.
Ernest Frimpong, a polling station executive in the Kwadaso Constituency, urged delegates to cast their votes for the former Food and Agriculture Minister in the party’s Super Delegates Conference.
Mr. Frimpong asserted, “It’s not about what our MP will say or what our constituency chairman will say. They have their choice, and we also have our own way to take decisions for ourselves. The records speak for themselves, and Owusu Afriyie Akoto is the best Agric Minister in the history of the Fourth Republic. The agricultural sector grew by an unprecedented 8.4 percent in 2021, and this is the reason we are saying that he is the best person for the party.”
“In this context, we are calling for him, and it is about what you have done for the country and the party, and Afriyie Akoto has demonstrated in all angles that he is competent to serve our party and this country.”
