Minister of Trade and Industry, Alan Kyerematen stunned the political fraternity in Eastern Region with an historic triumph of his preferred candidate in the ongoing NPP Regional Delegates Congress.
This comes after Jeff Konadu won the chairmanship race at the expense of the Jubilee House’s favorite in Kwadwo Boateng.
The Regional contest, already described as a miniature of the upcoming contest between Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and Alan Kyerematen, left many wondering.
Alan’s candidate, Jeff Konadu, pocketed over 100 percent increment at the expense Kwadwo Boateng.
With 202 votes amassed at the end of the contest, Kwadwo Boateng fell short of 222 votes as Jeff Konadu rose to the podium with a landslide 424 votes.
The victory, coupled with other top ranking positions at the regional level in Eastern region, left Alan Kyerematen with absolute control ahead of the much anticipated Presidential Primaries.
