Mr. Ahenkorah who was the former Deputy Minister for Trade noted that the NPP Flagbearer Aspirant had the capacity, commitment, and particularly an enviable track record of honesty and ability to bring jobs and cash to the citizenry, especially the youth.

“Today, as a patriotic NPP loyalist and stakeholder, I am optimistic delegates will come together to vote for ‘Alan Cash’ as the NPP Election 2024 Flagbearer to ensure a progressive journey of the party in peace and prosperity,” he added.

“Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen is no stranger to NPP delegates and Ghanaians but a friend, a father, a son and a brother to all,” adding that “his commitment and capacity can lead the party to break the jinx.

“Alan will build a legacy based on transparency, consistency, and an all-inclusive system of government,” stressing “Alan is the man and a President we can all trust at all times, with a sound commitment to deepen democracy and uphold democratic principles and values”.

Mr. Ahenkorah emphasised that the Former Minister of Trade had a clear mission and possessed a wealth of experience from both the private and public sectors to transform the country.
