Conventional wisdom (or folly?): a southern presidential candidate, a northern vice prez candidate. Mr Haruna is wagering that Akuff will be nominated then get beaten. The next time around favors the cashman, and guess who from the north is sowing the seedd to be named his running mate. But Mr Runa, say "it ain't so"

How can Alan win a national election when he can't even win a primary. I believe you are out of your mind.

Just Akufo-Addo is your choice and stop saying "he is our choice." Like the writer of this article, I'm strongly believe self-promoter Akufo-Addo will lose in 2016!

Who cares about the details of your meeting with Mr Kyeremanten at his plush Airport Residential Area office? The only good thing is your political ridiculousness was temporarily quarantined from the public while the meeting lasted. You were never missed.
Who cares about the putrid political romance of 2 megalomaniacal opportunists? Alan is a serial opportunist and wishy-washy while Mr Mahama Haruna is fantasizing to replicate the John Mahama journey to the Jubilee House. Mr Kyeremanten quits the party every time he loses the primary and re-surfaces 4 years later for another primary season.May his opportunistic traits rub off you in a very significant way.You're a perfect match because the two of you care more about the power struggle than the struggle itself that most of the ghanaian poor endure everyday. I wish you the best in your internship with Mr Alan "Quitman".
A campaign is irreversibly bad when its surrogates begin to toss up articles inserted with a disclaimer like this : "I wish to state emphatically that I'm not NDC and will never be NDC because I do not believe in their ideology." That sounds like taking a cheap shot.

NPP, seems to be forgetting that a party does not win power only based on the support of their die hards but as well on the backs of floating voters. most people know that the personality of Nana Addo Danquah Akuffu Addo is not appealing to others outside of their party, for them to win any election against the NDC and John Dramani Mahama they will need to present the affable Allan Kyeremanteng to appeal to the voters if not this election but come 2020. If the delegates have to hurt the feelings of a few to heal the whole now is the time to do that , how do they do that by giving their nod to Allan K.Mahama Haruna has said it all but as characteristic of the NPP they will not learn. Let me state unequivocally that president Mahama will remain president until 2021 even if the economy of this country get worse than it is today. It is only he who don't understand the dynamics of winning political that will doubt this assertion. The question however is what happens after 2021? That is the hard question the NPP must deal with come this october. Nana Addo can easily win this primaries but will never win the NPP, the presidency and consequently cement the NPP in the abyss of opposition. If alan should win which he will not knowing the forces at play in the NPP today, he will deliver the presidency to the NPP in 2021. In all, what the NPP is failing to do, is choosing power or choosing individuals. The NPP today is dangerously obsessed with satisfying the ego of individuals than seeking for political power which is the ultimate. NPP, please put your house in order, Ghana needs you in 2021, or else 2021 will elude you also, yoooooo

Mahama Haruna u are confused. U should question yourself why NDC wants Alan to contest Mahama and not Nana Addo. Please don't fool us. Nana Addo is the most influential person within the NPP and Ghanaian voters. NDC cannot steal votes again for we have discovered their ways of stealing. Every where they steal imagine Brazil WC and......Shame to all those who want Mahama to win again by choosing Alan over Nana Addo.

Looking at the title, you only tackled the last one - your political stance. As for the vision of Alan Kyeremanten, you said nothing of substance; the usual noise.

As articulate as you are, I would have expected you to point to a study that conclusively said Alan has those 'superficial' qualities you set sail by - humble, polite, handsome, etc. I am a student of leadership and has never ever come across these as the qualities of a leader who will perform.

You are making a very big assumption in your claims, which defy reality. You are assuming that the over 5 million people who voted for Akufo Addo in the last elections, only did so because they love the NPP. You assume it was not because of Akufo Addo that any of them did so. So your only task is to lock in that 5 million and then attract some 300,000 floaters, who are going to make Alan President.

This is where logic fails you. NPP membership numbers about 150,000. The remainder are attracted due to several factors but that includes an Akufo Addo candidature. Those attracted to Akufo Addo, I would say number more than 300,000. So what is the benefit of gaining 300,000 floaters but more likely losing more than that who were attracted because of Akufo Addo?

You have very right to support Alan but if you are relying on superficial considerations to make him President, what changes should Ghanaians look out for with such presidency? A so-called handsome, humble and polite President is floundering and you know why? There is nothing up there, which leads to the indecision, which has brought Ghana to its knees.

I was also disappointed that the reasons the writer claimed Alan is better than Akufo Addo are the so-called metaphysical attributes because these factors (humble, polite, gentle, easy going, non-violent, relatively young, handsome etc), are within the state of the mind and relative.

Unfortunately, the writer has not analysed why NDC prefers Alan to Nana Akufo-Addo? It is simple. Alan winning the flagbearship will weaken and further divide the NPP than Nana Akufo-Addo's victory and that is why NDC prefers him. On the other hand, Nana Akufo-Addo victory will at least maintain the status quo. That is, the Alan camp will stay aloof with Akufo-Addo maintaining at least those who voted for him in 2012. With luck on his side some independent who did not voted for him may vote for him in 2016. With the economy in difficulty and NDC not delivering, Nana Akufo-Addo has a better chance of beating Mahama than Alan. This is how I see 2016.

The writer also failed to explain why despite all these years of staunch support for Akufo-Addo, he has crossed carpet, except to say that things have changed but very little on the things that have changed.

Your report failed to state any convincing vision of Alan and his vision of Ghana in the next 10 years. Remember, Ghana continues to depend upon the visions and successes of former president Nkrumah and since 1966 Ghanaian leaders have failed to build upon his infrastructure. Ghana must pray for dynamic and visionary leader who is sincere, dedicated, humble, disciplined and spiritual. Alan and all other current front runners is merely opportunist with past history of lack of leadership, irresponsibility and discipline to lead this new complex world.

Haruna, you are entitled to your view and reasoning. I wish you the best of luck. It will be very interesting to watch and see your reaction should Nana win the presidency. Would you be asking for forgiveness or you will be begging for a post based on your past association with him?
