Bawumia, Alan Jostling For NPP Leadership Too Early - FF Antoh

The First Vice-Chair of the New Patriotic Party Frederick Fredua Antoh says current jostling for flagbearer within the party is unfair to President Nana Akufo-Addo. The comment comes on on the back of active social media campaigns by supporters of the Vice President Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia and also the Trade Minister Alan

Kyerematen for the standard-bearer slot. There are also other candidates who have declared interest including former Railway Minister Joe Ghartey. The development comes barely three months into the second term of the President and the former Ashanti regional chair of the party said he is hopeful the President will comment on

the development at cabinet meeting which is also also taking place today. The most important thing is how to help Akufo-Addo succeed in his second term and that’s the cardinal point. All of them must be careful unless they’re joking. What happens to the party in the 2024 depends on on how Akufo-Addo‘s second term will be

successful, then you can think of becoming president. I don’t think it’s fair to the President because he’s even yet to form his government in his second term. I think it’s too early for people to say they want to be president. The Prez hasn’t even constituted his gov’t in his second term so why the rush? I’m not comfortable with it, he said. Meanwhile, pollster Ben Ephson says the NPP has enough internal mechanism to control the jostling for leadership for the 2024 polls.
