The Chief Executive Officer of the National Entrepreneurship & Innovation Programme (NEIP), Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, has called on Alan Kyerematen to take personal responsibility for his failure to win the party’s recent presidential primaries.
According to Nkansah, Mr Kyerematen’s loss should not be blamed on any so-called “systemic mafia” within the party, but rather on his own shortcomings during the campaign.
This follows Kyerematen’s comments alluding to a possible internal conspiracy that derailed his presidential ambitions on the party’s ticket.
Mr Nkansah, in a Facebook post, emphasised that the NPP’s primaries were conducted fairly, and every candidate had an equal opportunity to win the support of delegates.
He argued that Kyerematen’s failure to secure victory was due to his inability to build a strong grassroots base and connect with the party’s rank-and-file members.
According to Nkansah, other candidates were able to successfully engage with delegates, which ultimately led to their stronger performance in the polls.
He also criticised Mr Kyerematen for attempting to attribute his loss to external factors rather than reflecting on his own campaign strategy.
Mr Nkansah advised Mr Kyerematen to focus on introspection instead of shifting the blame to non-existent forces within the party.
“Dear Chief Alan, you have yourself to blame for not becoming the next NPP flag-bearer after Prez Akufo-Addo because of how you did your internal Politics, not because of any systemic mafia or bad register. If system support resulted in automatic win, you would have won the NPP 2007 primaries,” he posted.
