Politics of Sunday, 4 June 2023Source: www.ghanaweb.comIn a surprising turn of events, former Energy Minister, John Peter Amewu has publicly endorsed Alan Kyerematen to be the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). The endorsement took place during a gathering in the presence of Alan Kyerematen himself, where the current Railway Minister Peter Amewu expressed his support for Kyerematen's presidential aspirations. During his speech, Amewu revealed that during the previous presidential race, despite Kyerematen being his Godfather, he declined working with him and endorsed Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to become the President. Amewu continued, emphasizing the importance of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's leadership in 2016, not just for the NPP but for the entire nation of Ghana. He stated, "...What was better at that time was not for NPP alone, but the whole Ghana in [2016] was calling for a leader in Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo."
