We're not scared of Alan-CPP rumors being peddled around; NPP is focused—Evans Nimako

Evans Nimako, the Director of Elections for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has denied rumors linking former flagbearer candidate Alan Kyerematen to the Convention People Party (CPP).

He said such rumors, if true, would have required an official letter from the former Trade Minister.

Speaking during an interview on Adom FM, Mr. Nimako said the Alan-Greenstreet ticket is a fabrication.

“When Alan wanted to withdraw from the presidential race, there was an official communication, so if this is true, I expect the same.

“When we are going forward, some people want to draw us back. So far as I am concerned, we have engaged the Electoral Commission, and we are putting in place arrangements all stakeholders will appreciate on November 4. So these claims are neither here nor there for the NPP,” Evans Nimako stated.

In Mr Nimako’s view, the report was a diversionary tactic ahead of the NPP presidential primary on November 4.

The Ghanaian Times newspaper reported on Monday that Mr. Kyerematen is exploring the idea to partner­ CPP’s Ivor Kobina Greenstreet for the 2024 general elections.

CPP has debunked the report.
