And to do that, Mr Hopeson believes that the party members say it is the turn of the Trade Minister to lead the party.
According to him, they are of the view that Mr Alan Kyerematen has served the party enough.
Because of this, they are urging him to resign and indicate his intentions of leading the party.
“The grassroots are yearning for Alan Kyerematen. They keep saying that he should resign from the government and declare his intention for party business to go on.
“I am overwhelmed by the numbers.”
Mr Hopeson was speaking at the march of some party supporters in the Ashanti Region in Kumasi on Saturday, 13th of August to declare their support for Mr Kyerematen.
He, however, explained that the directive by the party came at a time when organisers of the event had made advanced preparations for the march.
Meanwhile, he has asked the national leadership of the party to draw the modalities for interested aspirants to obey.

Meanwhile, Dr Bawumia and Mr Alan Kyerematen are yet to openly declare their interest to run for the position unlike Kennedy Agyapong who has already started campagining for the position in recent times.
