If Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen is chosen as the candidate for the ruling New Patriotic Party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has declined to say how it intends to defeat him (NPP).
The NDC’s Director of Conflict Resolution, Abraham Amaliba, claims that disclosing their strategy about the former trade and industry minister would be at their peril, which is why they believe it is appropriate to hold onto it till the time is ripe.
“I am not allowed to discuss our plan in public. Because Dr. Bawumia is so plain to see. Any Ghanaian can see it because it is so plain to see. We have a plan for Alan Kyerematen, but I won’t make it public for all Ghanaians to see,”
Meanwhile, Mr. Amaliba had earlier announced that Dr. Bawumia’s abysmal performance as Vice President and head of the Economic Management Team is so obvious to Ghanaians that, relaying their strategy for him would not be a problem.
He explains the NDC do not need to campaign to defeat Bawumia due to things he said in opposition he has not been able to fulfil.
“Dr Bawumia actually is the one that can easily be beaten. All you need to do is not to campaign but to put his words and the things he said before coming to power on a van with loud speakers and then it will be blaring and annoying the people. For instance, you put the statement; “I will give every constituency one million Ghana Cedis” and then it will be on loud speaker, blaring it,” he stated.
Commenting further on the chances of the NDC with Dr. Bawumia as leader of the ruling government, he recalled several of the promises made by the Veep in the runup to the December 7 polls in 2020 that have not seen the light of day.
“What we are seeing now is out of hand. This is the man who was against E-levy, what did he say about it when E-levy came? This is a man who promised the one million per constituency, what did he say about it? So, you have a lot of things that Bawumia has said and has not come to pass so all that you need to do is to put together his sayings and then mount them on a public speaker then that is it,” he indicated.
