Ahead of the National Delegates Conference of the New Patriotic Party [NPP] in November, members of the Alan Kyerematen campaign team in the Northern Region have publicly declared their support for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
Following his official separation from the NPP on Monday, September 25, Mr. Kyerematen made the decision to run as an independent presidential candidate in the 2024 general elections.
An administrator for the Alan campaign team in the area, Chabite Moses Moye, expressed surprise at Mr. Kyerematen’s decision to depart from the NPP during a news conference on Tuesday in Tamale.

“We are concerned, former supporters of Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen’s presidential candidacy of NPP are here today to express our profound disappointment with Mr Kyerematen. We as individuals have steadfastly believed in Alan within our party. We have diligently supported his campaign and believe in his potential to lead NPP. However, Alan chose to withdraw from the race without prior notice, citing isolated incidents of violence after our Special Delegates’ Conference. This decision has inflicted unnecessary hardship on us because we firmly believe that the grassroots was firmly behind him. We were shocked and dismayed when he withdrew from the November presidential election.”
He stated that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is now the ideal candidate to lead the NPP into the 2024 election as a result of Mr. Kyerematen’s exit from the party, which explains their support for him.
Mr Moye said, “All signs show that the Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia who is also contesting will win. We have to work for the party. We will surely work with him and make sure that he gets the nod and continue to work for NPP to win power in 2024.”
