… Selling off the US embassy hunts him
Firm intelligence gathered from the Chronicle’s field reporters, confirmed that Mr. Alan Kyeremanten is in freefall in the standing of delegates for this Saturday’s congress.
Instead of playing by the book and the simple code of conduct, the usually genteel Alan has managed to provoke a backlash across the nation with the aspirant suffering the most electoral bleeding in Upper East and West where it has become almost too late to recover.
With executive influence now openly in evidence, the standing of the golden boy has become almost fatal and last nights visit of the President to Brong Ahafo region on ostensibly official visit, was interpreted by locals to be a meeting with party chairmen. The lights at the official residence had to be turned off before the party chairmen allegedly sneaked in to jaw-jaw with the President who plugged for his favourite son. Most of the chairmen were said to be away, on purpose on not, but it was established that Alan’s base in the region now hangs on a needle.
However through Mr. Peter Adom, pockets of towns like Kintampo, Techiman North and South where DCE Razak leads an Alan for President campaign right to the tip of Ashanti region at the borders of Kumawu town. Here Mr. D, K Edusei remains the sole remaining chairman of chairmen loyal to Alan, the rest of the super chairmen of the Asante NPP having broken ranks from the corp of supporters which include Mr. Phillip Basoa.
In the Volta region, the rebellion to the Kyeremanten imposition has backfired badly with his North Dayi chairman Efo Phillipo breaking party code of conduct by moving out of his territory to campaign with him in Takoradi. The deselect ion of Mr Raymond Okudzeto, the grand financier of the party in the region and promoter of the Volta Foundation ostensibly by powers that have left a sour taste in the mouth of delegates who see him as the force behind the wrath against Nyonyo Agboada, otherwise known as Torgbui Sri, and touched off a serious revolt against Alan.
The understanding is that Alan warned Mr. Tommy Amametekpor when he learnt from his intelligence sources that even though he is the President’s close friend, Tommy who is the president’s adviser in the region is seriously a supporter of Nana Akufo Addo, and not Alan. He has allegedly been threatened with banishment by an Alan Presidency if he does not fall in line.
The region that saved the NPP from certain defeat, Central region, is where Alan began to sew his seeds even before the whistle for the campaign began.
