According to the outspoken analyst, the vice president, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has not gotten a formidable foundation as against Alan Kyerematen, the Trade and Industry Minister to earn the presidential candidature slot. Speaking on Good Evening Ghana, Kobby Mensah explained that Dr. Bawumia has not fully attained the ‘party stalwart’ status that will earn him such a slot as compared to Alan Kyerematen. For example, can he [Alan Kyerematen] bring on board President KufuorKufour or President Akufo-Addo’s support base?... And the challenge will be whether [Alan Kyerematen] can actually bring them as the coalition into his base…but for his camp, I think he has a very consolidated position,” he said. Kobby Mensah argued that this limits the winning chances of younger presidential aspirants when it comes to general elections.
