Political Scientist and CDD fellow, Dr John Osae Kwapong has indicated that, he wasn’t surprise Dr Bawumia came on top at the party’s just ended Super Delegates Conference.
According to him, that has been his view even before the conference and would have been surprised if it had turned vice versa.
Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia won the New Patriotic Party (NPP) super delegates conference with a total of 629 votes, representing 68.15% of the vote.
Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong came in second with 132 votes, representing 14.30% while former Trade Minister Alan Kyerematen placed third with 95 votes, or 10.29%.
The results mean that Agyapong has qualified for the NPP’s presidential primaries in November, along with Bawumia.
He however expressed shock at the outcome of Mr Alan Kyeremanten. He said, “this is the first time that either man has run for the presidency but Alan Kyeremanten has been in the race since 2007.
