A member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Ashanti Region, Ishaq Kyei-Brobbey, has urged former Minister for Trade and Industry, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, to dismiss his Campaign spokesperson, Yaw Buaben Asamoa, for insulting the intelligence of party delegates.
Kyei-Brobbey made this call during a weekend political show on Akoma FM in Kumasi Wonsom where he serves as the patron of the Tertiary Students Confederacy (TESCON) at Kumasi Technical University.
He urged party leaders to review recent comments made by Buaben Asamoa, who allegedly angered NPP delegates by accusing them of being influenced by Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s camp.
The Communication Director of the Alan Campaign is accused of stating that Dr Bawumia is using government machinery to encourage and threaten delegates to vote for him during the NPP Presidential Primaries.
But Mr Ishaq Kyei-Brobbey described these allegations as dangerous.
He said his comment is a disgrace to the party and he should be sacked.
He said this is flimsy, baseless and a personal attack.
He, therefore, called on party members to disregard the comment and forge ahead for a united party ahead of the presidential primaries.
“Mr. Alan Kyerematen should jettison Buaben Asamoah off his campaign team. He simply cannot connect and has become clueless. I pity your campaign strategies…pathetic.”
The former Minister for Trade and Industry, Alan Kyerematen, and the Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia have been deemed the frontrunners in NPP’s upcoming flagbearership contest with other candidates such as Kennedy Agyapong, Kwabena Agyepong, Francis Addai-Nimoh, Joe Ghartey and others.
