Former Energy Minister Hon. Boakye Agyarko has described as unfortunate a statement by Majority Leader Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu said it is time NPP elected a non-Akan flagbearer to lead the party into 2024. Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu in an interview with Accra- based Joy News said it’s unwise for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to present another Akan as flagbearer for the party in 2024. “Inwardly, I know also have the competence but is it wise for me now immediately after two Akans; Kufour had been the president, Akufo-Addo follows from the Eastern Region and there is a third Akan to follow? Doing introspection, I think it may not hold well for a party that is accused by some as being overly Akanistic party. But not everybody agrees with me. And that is the beauty of democracy.”
