Convince delegates before swing voters - Baako tells Alan

Chief Editor of the New Crusading Guide newspaper, Abdul Malik Kwaku Baako, has advised Mr. Alan Kwadwo Kyeremanteng to direct his psychological knacks rather to party delegates to cajole them to vote him as the party presidential candidate in the upcoming primaries.

Malik Baako believes that the two-time defeated flagbearer aspirant should concentrate more on winning the primaries and only when he becomes a flagbearer that he can talk about 'floating voters'.

Mr. Alan Kyeremateng who was last weekend in US on a 'short visit' inter alia to canvass for votes, told party loyalists and potential delegates in New York that, “the challenge that we have is not convincing our core voters in the party… Almost invariably you can imagine that if everything goes well you can expect that our core voters will vote for us.

The difference lays in how we convince the swing voters…”

“Let us try to understand the psychology of these swing voters…”

However, Kwaku Baako on JoyFm's 'News File' opined that Mr. Kyeremanteng's comment on floating voters per the composition of the delegates is not a concerted effort in line with the reality check and, therefore, advised him to focus on convincing party delegates.

"You don't talk about floating or swing voters when you are not a flagbearer."
