Alan buys forms for NPP aspiring polling station executives

The Minister of Trade and Industry, Alan Kyerematen, has paid for nomination forms for all aspiring polling station executives of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) across the country.

The potential NPP presidential aspirant funded the entire nomination forms in all 275 constituencies to facilitate the ongoing polling station-level election process.

To lessen the burden on the grassroots leaders, the revered party stalwart sent out monies to the various constituencies to cover the cost, which otherwise would have been borne by the very grassroots members of the party.

“In the case of orphan constituencies, Mr Kyerematen paid for both the nomination forms and the cost of the passport pictures of the aspiring polling station executives,” a news release from his office said.

According to the release, “This gesture forms part of longstanding efforts by Mr Kyerematen to support polling station executives as he is noted to place much emphasis on the well-being of the grassroots of the party”.

Political pundits have already singled out the Minister of Trade and Industry as one of the many individuals likely to replace President Akufo-Addo as the next presidential candidate of NPP, heading into the 2024 general election.
