Nana Addo Dankwa –Akufo Adoo, according to the Ashanti regional NDC secretary has won the NPP primaries to his party’s detriment.
Mr. Joseph Yammin, who spoke to Focus FM, a KNUST based radio station in an interview after Nana Addo’s victory says that Alan Kyerematen, the runner up in the recent NPP primaries was popular outside the New Patriotic Party and appeals to the mass of floating voters. He adds that Mr. Alan Kyerematen also had the support of former president John Agyekum Kufour, a major factor that according to him will play a lead role in the 2012 elections.
The NDC kingpin says the NPP just gave the 2012 elections to the NDC on a silver platter by voting for Nana Akufo Addo as flagbearer.
To him, Alan Kyerematen would have been a thorn in the flesh of the NDC if he bore the flag for the NPP.
“Our strategy has worked, we supported and campaigned for Alan so that the NPP will reject him on the basis of he being a lose candidate for the ruling party”, he said.

He says Ghanaians should keep faith with the President Mills-led NDC government since the government is about to take Ghanaians by storm with a series of policies and development projects as part of the better Ghana agenda.

“The president is working hard and Ghanaians will soon begin to see what the president is about”, the regional secretary said.

He also says the NPP should stop throwing unnecessary criticisms at the government and concentrate on how to repair the numerous problems within their party.
