The aspiring flagbearer of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, has promised not to disappoint Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II when he becomes the President of Ghana.

Mr Kyerematen said he will work assiduously for the nation to progress when selected by his party and subsequently elected as President of Ghana.

He was speaking at the Manhyia Palace in the Ashanti Region when he paid a courtesy call on Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II on Monday January 30, 2023, to formally inform him of his intention to contest the flagbearer position of the NPP. 

Mr Kyerematen said he wants to become president so he can continue the good work his father and forefathers did for the nation.

Mr Alan Kyerematen also said as part of the One-District-One-Factory (1D1F) initiative, some 296 factories are under construction across the country.

Out of this, 47 are in the Ashanti region, he told Asantehene at the gathering.

He also enumerated several projects he was able to initiate for the nation when he became Minister for Trade and Industry.

The Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II on his part, asked him to tell Ghanaians his vision for the nation when he is selected by his party and subsequently elected as President.

Asantehene asked God's blessings for Mr Kyerematen as he seeks to contest the position of flagbearer for the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP).

He further advised him to prosecute his campaign devoid of insults and mudslinging
