Former Tamale Central MP Inusuah Fuseini has criticised the New Patriotic Party (NPP)'s election procedures during their Super Delegates Conference.

He expressed confusion over the NPP's failure to anticipate a tied voter outcome when selecting five out of 10 candidates for their November 4 primaries.

Speaking on JoyNews' Newsfile on Saturday, September 9, Mr Fuseini attributed the election's outcome to the NPP's incompetence, leading to a run-off.

He questioned the party's lack of foresight, stating, "How can you run an election to shortlist and not anticipate that voter’s outcome can tie? How can you think that way and not make room for that? You want us to believe that.”

Mr. Fuseini's comments came in response to Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen's withdrawal from the party's flagbearer race where he classified several incidents as favouring one particular aspirant during the elections which he believed was strategically skewed in that aspirant's favour.

Mr Kyerematen also highlighted the level of intimidation directed at delegates across the sixteen regions during the election.

On the back of this, Mr. Fuseini noted that the former Trade Minister had anticipated a challenging fight for the NPP flagbearer position right from the start.

He noted that the NPP’s Super Delegates Conference was more of a selection contest than a true election, claiming that the NPP altered its election rules during the election.

The former Roads Minister believes the claims made by Mr Kyerematen, emphasising that the NPP had a comprehensive plan to humiliate and prevent him from coming close to Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

“You should understand that the project to humiliate Alan is so encompassing. They (NPP) didn’t want him (Alan Kyerematen) to come any close to Bawumia. They thought that their project to elect a flagbearer must end with the Super Delegates Conference.

“They were aiming over 70% for Bawumia so that they could make a case for Bawumia to go into the elections without a delegate’s congress," Mr Fuseini stated.
