The member of parliament for Akim Abuakwa South constituency, Honorable Samuel Atta Akyea, who doubles as the Minister for Works And Housing has dropped some revelations about the person he will vote for in the upcoming primaries.
In an interview on Metro TV, Samuel Atta Akyea made it clear that he will vote for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to become the flag bearer of the NPP. According to him, Dr. Bawumia has an upper edge over Alan Kyeremanten.
He however made it clear that he will prefer both Alan Kyeremanten and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to run on the same ticket. This means, Alan Kyeremanten should be the running mate of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. He believes that it is the best way to break the eight. According to him, if this combination does not happen, one party may envy or hate the other causing problems in the party.
“The history of NPP should be that it is a National party. We don’t want to give anybody an impression that we are users and let us use the man to the point of nothingness and dump the person. He is a competent man and reflects the unity of the party. Let’s get Alan Kyeremanten to partner him.”
“It Is my prediction that Bawumia will win. I believe that he has the Upper edge to win. I am not ashamed to announce my vote but my chief concern is about the unity of the party” he said
“There should not be congress. Dr. Bawumia must be number one and Alan Kyeremanten must be number two. If you put together a competition between them, and they sink millions of cedis into the competition, it will get splinter groups to hate one another” he stated.
