The flag-bearer of the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akufo-Addo, has described his arch-rival in the party�s presidential primaries as �my man�.
In a personal thank you-letter he wrote in response to an open letter written to him by an Aide to Kyerematen about the need for unity ahead of the 2016 elections, Akufo-Addo said: �As aptly put by �my man� Alan Kyerematen, the man you worked for as press aide, the NPP tradition is best exemplified in the statement �after competition comes co-operation�, and I see your letter in that spirit�.
The former foreign affairs Minister said: �I am determined, in a �camp-blind� manner, to assemble all the talents in our Party so that we can realise the great task of mobilising the overwhelming majority of the Ghanaian people for victory in 2016�.
�The NPP programme of transformation and development is a credible platform around which we can unite the people of Ghana for lasting progress and prosperity�, the former Attorney General who has won the flag-bearer slot for the third consecutive time, told Chief Obosu Mohammed in his response.
He added: �I am confident that with co-operation amongst ourselves, Ghana will work again with an NPP government at the helm of affairs�.
He polled more than 94 per cent of votes cast by more than 125,000 delegates at the party�s congress on October 18, 2014. Kyerematen could only manage a little more than four percent of votes cast in the competition.
