Intense lobbying to get Alan back into NPP
There is intense lobbying by some big wigs to get Alan Kyerematen back to the fold of the ahead of the 2024 elections.
Sources in the party say, there are ongoing efforts by some elders of the party to convince his presidential ambition and unite with Dr. Bawumia for electoral victory.
Sources say, so far the Alan camp has proved difficult although with his fortunes continuously dwindling, there are expectations that Alan will eventually succumb and join the fold of the Dr. Bawumia before the elections.
According to one political analyst, so far, the signs don’t look clear but it is likely Alan Kyerematen may join if he is adequately compensated by the Dr. Bawumia camp in time before the 2024 elections. Politics requires considering financial backing and Alan lacks that. He is not making the impact he expected and age is also not on his part. He may take a payout before the election in order to get some financial cushioning,” the analyst stated.
He explained that the Bawumia camp would do everything they can do to try and get Alan to join them. “The opinion polls are not looking good for Dr. Bawumia at all. Even if he can’t win the 2024 election, he has to get a very decent percentage in order to be able to stake a claim for the NPP presidential candidate position for the 2028 election. If he loses by a wide margin like the polls suggest that could mark the end of his presidential ambitions. That is why they will try to get Alan to join them to get some more numbers and narrow the gap,” he explained.
