Former Trade and Industry Minister, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, says he is �willing and ready� to catapult the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to the seat of power, the Flagstaff House, come 2016, if given the nod as the party�s flagbearer.
�By submitting my form to contest the flagbearership of our party, I�m confirming that I�m willing, ready and able to lead this party to victory in 2016,� he told journalists yesterday, after submitting his nomination forms at the party headquarters.
According to him, the event was the beginning of a democratic process that would lead to a change in the �political occupation of our country in 2016.
Effective Campaign Machinery
Alan, who has long registered his desire to lead the NPP in 2016, said the NPP �must win� the 2016 elections �at all cost�, but admitted that it would not be an easy ride.
For victory to be NPP�s in 2016, he said �we need both the leadership of the party and the rank and file of our party to work together in unity to be able to activate the grass root structures of our party into formidable, decent and effective campaign machinery. That is the only way we can win in 2016.�
Promising to abide by the rules of engagement, Alan said he and his team were committed to upholding the unity in the NPP by embarking on a clean campaign. �I want to commit myself and that of my team to the party leadership�, he assured.
The NPP is expected to go to polls to elect who leads them into the 2016 general election later this year.
