NPP Presidential Primaries: Alan Describes Vetting As ‘Familiar & Comfortable’

Former Minister of Trade and Industry Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen has described his vetting process as ‘familiar and comfortable since today’s exercise wasn’t his first encounter.

Alan Kyerematen was the first flagbearer hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to be vetted ahead of the presidential primaries slated for November 4, 2023.

Mr Kyerematen was vetted on Monday, July 3 by the Prof Mike Oquaye-chaired committee on the first day of vetting.

The former Ghana Ambassador to the US was also the first to submit his forms after picking them at GH¢50,000 when nominations opened last month.

Alan Kyerematen alias Alan Cash failed to disclose the details of the vetting process to the media due to the party’s guidelines which prohibit such actions.

“It is not appropriate for us to discuss issues that have been discussed in camera. That has been the tradition and practice of our party.”

The former Trade Minister highlighted his upcoming innovation of public durbars across the country as he begins his campaign to canvass the support of delegates of the NPP.

The public durbars begin on Tuesday, July 4 in the Greater Accra Region.

Other aspirants who were vetted today were Energy expert Kwadwo Nsafoah Poku and Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

The seven others will take their turns from Tuesday to Thursday, July 6.
