Alan ‘shops’ for Northern running mate

Leader of the Movement for Change and independent presidential aspirant for the 2024 elections, Alan Kyerematen is busily looking for a Northern candidate to partner with him into the December polls.

MyNewsGh.com has gathered that it is unlikely that Ghanaian Agricultural Scientist and Former Flagbearer of the Convention People’s Party(CPP), Michael Abu Sakara Foster will fit the bill for the Former Trade and Industry Minister contrary to earlier speculations.

Alan who is hoping that the 2024 polls go into a runoff to surge his demand by the leading political parties, is seriously searching for a formidable face from the north to boost his votes.

Over the years, Alan while in the NPP enjoyed some substantial votes during internal contests and believes that a northern candidate could translate into votes for him in the main elections. Some behind-the-scenes lobbying appears to have commenced to get some individuals on board, but sources reveal that these persons have blatantly refused to be part of this movement.

Meanwhile, this portal understands that the Former Madina Constituency Member of Parliament (MP) and Ex-Minister in the erstwhile Kufuor administration, Hon. Abubakar Sadique Boniface is said to be reportedly eyeing the number two position should Alan Kyerematen.

Mr. Boniface, who is a die-hard Alan Kyerematen supporter, has been crisscrossing the country canvassing for votes for Alan while building connections for his ambition to be on an Alan ticket.

The former Works and Housing and Zongo Minister with extensive experience is said to have the backing of Ghanaian Zongos, Moslems and northerners to win extra votes for Alan.
