Members of the
New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Ashanti Region have begun removing posters of
former Minister of Trade and Industry Alan Kyerematen from the party’s various
offices.
This follows a
directive from the Ashanti regional chairman of the party, Bernard Antwi
Boasiako (Chairman Wontumi), to remove all posters of the former NPP flagbearer
aspirant after he resigned from the party and declared his intention to run as
an independent candidate in the 2024 general elections.
In line with the
NPP regional chairman’s directive, Citi News checks show that party members in
the region have indeed begun removing posters of Alan Kyerematen at various
party offices.
Meanwhile, the
governing New Patriotic Party will today announce its next line of action after
Alan Kyerematen, resigned.
Kyerematen
announced his resignation from the party on Monday, September 25, 2023, and his
intention to contest the 2024 polls as an independent presidential candidate in
Accra.
In response, the
NPP issued a statement signed by its General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong,
saying that it would address all issues raised by Kyerematen and announce a way
forward.
“The leadership
of the NPP has taken notice of the unfortunate decision of Mr Alan Kwadwo
Kyerematen, a long-standing member of the party to forfeit his membership and
contest as an independent presidential candidate in the 2024 general
elections.”
“The party
leadership is by this medium urging the rank and file of our great party to
keep calm and await an official address by the party to Mr Kyerematen’s
resignation at 14:00 pm on Tuesday, September 26, 2023, at the party
headquarters,” Mr Frimpong indicated.
