A flagbearer hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Alan Kyerematen has expressed hope that the special delegate conference of the party will be free, fair and transparent.
He said the process must be free in order to ensure that the party is united toward breaking the 8-year electoral cycle.
“Everything went well, we hope we can be guaranteed and fair and transparent election so that we can work toward breaking the 8,” he told journalists after balloting for positions for the National Congress.
Seven out of the 10 flagbearer hopefuls were available at the party’s headquarters in Accra for the exercise.
Two rounds of balloting were done. The first, according to spokesperson of the Elections Committee, was to pick the order in which the positions will be picked.
The second was the balloting proper, which saw Assin Central Member of Parliament (MP) Kennedy Ohene Agyapong picking the Number 1 position.
Perennial contender and former Minister of Trade and Industry Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen picked the Number 2 position.
