Alan’s campaign is sloppiest campaign ever organised – Kwesi Pratt
The Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper,
Kwesi Pratt, has said Alan Kyerematen’s loss, in
the National Delegates’ Conference of the New
Patriotic Party (NPP), should be blamed on nothing
but the disorderliness of his campaign.

He said Mr Kyerematen, other than speaking on
radio programmes, never appeared on any campaign
platforms to speak with delegates and listen to
their specific needs and that made it impossible
for him to craft a convincing message for them.

Speaking on Peace FMs ‘Kokrokoo’ Mr Pratt said
“Alan’s campaign is the sloppiest campaign
ever organised. He never went anywhere. He only
spoke on radio stations and that was all and a
campaign like that can never win an election. It
was bad; simply bad and did not have any
message”.

The NPP on Saturday 18 October, went to the polls
to elect a new flagbearer who will hopefully lead
the party to regain power in the 2016 general
elections.

All three candidates, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo,
Alan Kyerematen and Francis Addai Nimoh had all
given delegates the assurance that if voted for,
they will take the NPP out of opposition and bring
the party back to power – "where it rightly
belongs".

At the end of voting in all constituencies across
the country, Nana Akufo-Addo emerged the winner.
He polled 117,413 representing 94.35 percent of
votes cast. Alan Kyerematen managed a miserable
5,908 votes representing 4.75 percent while
Francis Addai Nimoh polled 1,128 representing 0.91
percent.

But Mr Pratt said Alan cannot blame his woeful
performance on anyone but his (and his
communicators') failure to sell their message to
the delegates in order to convince them for votes,
adding it was only normal for Nana Akufo-Addo to
have won.

He however advised that the abnormalities, such as
the absence of delegates’ names from the
voter’s register should be critically looked at
and amended to ensure that similar things do not
occur in future elections.

He also asked that proper education be given to
delegates on how to conduct themselves during
elections because one (1) percent of spoilt
ballots was rather alarming.

Mr Pratt said in order for the NPP to regain power
in 2016, it must address its internal
misunderstandings because the people of Ghana are
expecting a change of life for the better and they
can only win if they come together as a united
front.

He further asked the party to sanitise its
communication team because its future victory
depends largely on them.
