Nana Ohene Ntow a former General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party(NPP) and a spokesperson for former Minister of Trade and Industry, Alan Kyeremateng has said that there is nobody in the party who will be able to sanction them for starting their flagbearership campaign early.
Speaking on Okay FM's 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, he explained that they are aware the party has not been able to conclude on when they will have their congress but that does not also prevent them from meeting delegates.
According to him whiles others have started campaigning already, the Alan team cannot sit down and wait for the party to issue its command before they also go out to campaign.
"...If nobody has been able to sanction Alhaji Dr. Bawumia, if nobody has been able to sanction Kennedy Agyapong, nobody can sanction Alan Kyeremanteng," he said.
