According to Hon. Jumah, all the aspirants vying to lead the NPP in the 2012 general elections are all competent and equally qualified to the lead the party, but Alan Kyeremanteng stands tall among them that is why he supports him.

“All the candidates have achieved a lot in their chosen fields but Alan stands told because he is a lawyer, Economist and a Management Consultant; this puts him in the right position to lead the country. None of the presidential aspirants can march Alan in terms of achievements,” he emphasised.

The Asokwa MP made this known when he interacted with members of the Tertiary Student Confederacy (TESCON) Sunyani Polytechnic branch and some journalists in Sunyani.

Hon. Kofi Jumah catalogued achievements why Alan Kyerematen should lead the New Patriotic Party (NPP). According to him, Alan has trained many businessmen both in Ghana and other African countries who have become successful.

He recounted that Alan also introduced the Presidential Special Initiatives (PSI’s) in textiles, salt, cassava, oil palm and distance education. MASLOC was his initiative which has come to help people in small businesses in the country.

The Asokwa Parliamentarian expressed his worry where Alan is perceived to be a new person in NPP, “Alan is not new in the party as its being peddled in a section of the media in fact Alan he is a signatory to the document that established the New Patriotic Party (NPP).”
