Former Minister of State, Nana Obiri Boahen, has said that Minister of Trade and Industry and NPP Presidential hopeful, Alan Kyeremanten, can never beat the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, in the Ashanti Region.
A recent opinion poll about the NPP’s presidential primary projects Alan Kyerematen to easily win in the Ashanti Region.
But speaking in an interview on Hot 93.9FM’s ‘Dwene Ho Biom” political talk show hosted by Agya Wusu, Nana Obiri Boahen stated without mincing words that Alan Kyeremanten can never defeat Dr. Bawumia in the Ashanti Region.
“Alan Kyeremanten can never beat Bawumia in the Ashanti Region. I’m quoting William Shakespeare: No man born of a woman can beat Bawumia in the Ashanti Region.” Obiri Boahen said.
He, however, added that, even though he respects Alan Kyeremanten impetuously, no member of the NPP can ever beat Bawumia in the presidential race.
The outspoken NPP stalwart discredited the research by indicating that: “We were all here when Ade Coker was projected to win the NDC National Chairmanship race? Did he win? no! Mahama was also in the 2020 elections and was projected to win but he lost… so no one should take these researches and opinion polls seriously.”
Vice President Bawumia, Alan Kyeremanten and Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong, are expected to be the frontrunners for the NPP flagbearer race.
According to a separate recent poll, Bawumia would win the primary and go ahead to defeat ex-President John Dramani Mahama in the 2024 general elections.
