The Paramount Chief of Ejisu, Nana Afrane Okese IV, has said that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primaries will be won by the former Minister of Trade and Industry, Alan Kyerematen.

Nana Okese IV, who made remarks when Alan and his campaign team called on him, told the NPP presidential hopeful and his supporters not to be afraid by the current happening in the race because he (Alan) would eventually emerge victorious.

He pledged his support to Alan, adding that he is ready to challenge any person who thinks Alan would not be the winner in the flagbearership race.

“I know it would be well. They (the opponents of Alan) know that it shall be well. Don’t be afraid of anybody, I am here and I support you.

“You have my full support either financially, physically or spiritually, so don’t be afraid.

“I am also telling the people who support you that they should be afraid because everything would go well. The stool also supports you… come and challenge me if you want,” he said in Twi.
