Former Minister of the Meals and Agriculture, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto, is assured that he’ll win flagbearership race of the New Patriotic Celebration (NPP). He expressed optimism that the occasion’s delegates will vote massively for him to guide the occasion within the 2024 common elections. In keeping with him, the delegates will select a reliable individual to guide the occasion.
“Properly you go right into a contest to win, so I’m within the contest hoping to win, and I do know that God will bless me to win this contest,” Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto stated. Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto stated he’s not fearful that Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is within the race including that he doesn’t have any benefit over him and the opposite hopefuls.
“The incumbency of the Vice President doesn’t fear me in any respect, it doesn’t give any benefit over others. The occasion individuals know who’s who. You simply need to make it possible for they know you might be within the race. Most of our delegates are rural individuals, they benefitted from Planting for Meals and Jobs. They’re a part of the 1.7 million farmers which have benefitted from the PFJ. So that they relate to what I’m doing,” a flagbearer hopeful of NPP stated.
He added, “NPP is just not an ethnic occasion, it’s a nationwide occasion so if the delegates resolve who’s competent sufficient to guide them, they’ll vote for the individual. So what’s it about tribalism and all that, I can’t perceive it”. Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto who has been silent after resigning defined that he doesn’t need to break the occasion’s guidelines by campaigning vigorously.
“The occasion has rules, and I’m the final individual to interrupt rules which state that till the occasion units a date and invitations potential contestants to come back and decide kinds and so forth and so forth, there must be no campaigning. This has been grossly missed by lots of people, I wasn’t going to stampede into that. But it surely doesn’t imply that I’m not working,” he defined.
