Stephen Ntim, the national chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has revealed that he has had fruitful conversations with a number of presidential candidates who came up short at the party’s special delegates conference.
“I have visited some of the former Flagbearer aspirants in their homes and spoken to them except two, and in due course, I will pay them a visit as well,” Ntim said in an interview on Oman FM.
“I’ve also gone to Ken’s house to speak with him, I’ve been to Addai Nimoh’s home, I’ve also gone to Alan and Kyerematen Agyarko’s homes,” Ntim added.
Concerns that Alan Kyerematen, who backed out of the election on November 4 after finishing third with 95 votes at the Special Delegates Conference, would harbor animosity against the party were categorically refuted by Ntim.
Ntim agreed that certain issues had come up in his conversations with Alan, but he highlighted that there had been no sign of a wish to break connections with the group.
“They raised some concerns,” Ntim admitted, “but I think for the fact that I as the National Chairman took the initiative to visit them in their homes and spoke to them, they are a bit okay, they can’t be 100% okay.”
“I have visited Alan in his home to speak to him, he did not show any sign of anger against the party. One would have thought that given the reasons he gave for boycotting the Flagbearership election, he would have been angry. But from the discussion I had with him, there was nothing to suggest that he was bottling up anger.”
