Former Trades and Industry Minister and a Flagbearer hopeful, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, has successfully advanced to the next stage of the New Patriotic Party's Flagbearer contest.

Based on preliminary figures coming from the Electoral Commission's Office, Alan Kyerematen has secured the third position with 95 votes, which accounts for 10.29% of the total votes counted nationwide.

The Super Delegates Conference is designed to narrow down the number of candidates from ten to five. This election is exclusively open to National Executives, Members of Parliament, and select distinguished members of the New Patriotic Party.

Initial results indicate that Alan is leading over other contenders like Former Agriculture Minister Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto and Former Energy Minister Boakye Kyerematen Agyarko.
