Speaking on?Eyewitness News, Philip Longdon toldCiti News?that ?I am confirming it on authority that he [Alan Kyerematen] will announce it at the appropriate time himself.??
??Mr. Kyerematen?s decision to contest was borne out of the mounting pressures from the party?s grassroots supporters,?? he added.
According to him the pressure is high for Mr. Kyerematen to step forward and go for the NPP primaries and ??to appease those edging supports who are anxious??.
