Former Volta Regional Minister, Kofi Dzamesi says the only person who can break the 8 for the NPP in next year's election is Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

Dzamasi, who is now the Chief Executive Officer of Bui Power Authority, was addressing a meeting of party faithful in the Volta Region on Friday.

"Dr. Bawumia is the only one who can break the 8 for NPP. I support him," Kofi Dzamesi said amidst applause by the party faithful.

Dzamesi's emphatic endorsement of Dr. Bawumia came as a surprise to many, considering the fact that he has been a key ally of Alan Kyerematen's previous campaigns.

At one time, he was at the forefront of Alan's flagbearership bid and his public declaration of support for Dr. Bawumia is surely a heavy blow to the Alan campaign.

A number of key allies of Alan have already crossed carpet to offer their support to the Vice President who is tipped to win the NPP flagbearer contest.
