A former chairman of the Nabdam Constituency of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Upper East Region, Mr Yaw Mort, has appealed to Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the presidential candidate of the party, to choose Mr Alan Kyeremanten, as his running mate.
Mr Mort said the popularity of the two men was enough to silence all opposition political parties in the country.
He said it would render the NPP’s campaign virtually “fairly easy” for the party’s foot soldiers and that “it would make the work of the opposing parties extremely difficult”.
Mr Mort was happy that the party there was no rancour or bitterness between the two during the campaign to choose the NPP presidential candidate.
He said even though the two of them could win the election for the NPP, the party would have to still work hard to guarantee victory.
For him, it was time Ghanaians discarded the so called geographical or religious factor in politics.
Mr Mort said the late US President Ronald Reagan picked former President George Bush as his running mate after defeating him in the Republican Party primary.
He said the two rival candidates came together and defeated the Democrats in the general elections.
