Dr. Benjamin Otchere-Ankrah, a Governance Lecturer at the Central University, has released his list of candidates who will make the "five" for the New Patriotic Party upcoming presidential primaries.
Ten candidates including Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and former Trade Minister, Alan Kyerematen have picked their nomination forms to contest the race.
The party is therefore to hold a Super Delegates Congress to elect five out of the 10 Presidential aspirants who will then go into the main congress for a candidate to be elected to lead the party.
To Dr. Benjamin Otchere-Ankrah, his top five candidates to progress to the main primaries are Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, the Assin Central MP; Kennedy Agyapong, former Railways and Development Minister; Joe Ghartey and former Member of Parliament for Asante Mampong, Francis Addai-Nimoh.
Those who will not make it, according to him, include former Agriculture Minister, Dr. Afriyie Akoto, former NPP General Secretary; Kwabena Agyepong, former Energy Minister; Boakye Agyarko and the rest.
"I can't see what is motivating some people to contest this election," he exclamed during Peace FM's "Kokrokoo" morning show.

Things aren’t right here, articles like this create humor. Including Dr Akoto in this makes your statement incomplete because the majority of the delegates are calling for his leadership. Surely Dr Akoto is winning this election at all cost. Dr Akoto is our surest hope for Breaking the eight #TheLegend
This lecturer must be left alone with his mess. He just want the shine of Dr.Akoto to favour him. The first ever lecturer to make bias destroy his dignity is this one. We all know Dr. Akoto is the winner. We all know he is the one we the delegates are voting and this lecturer, because he doesn’t have any idea about who will win this election and because of course the question came imprompt to to him, he started to bring out ***barred word*** comments. If you don’t have a credible answer to a question on Radio or tv please quit answering such questions. This lecturer has disgraced himself . Dr.Akoto is the delegates’ choice. We have suffered under Our won government. It’s time we have someone to prioritize Agric and make we the delegates who are farmers useful. Dr.Akoto noaaa
