Former Trade Minister Alan Kyerematen’s decision to contest the 2024 presidential elections as an independent candidate is significant news. He has expressed concerns about how his supporters have been treated within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and appears dissatisfied with the leadership’s response to these concerns.
In his press conference, Mr. Kyerematen highlighted issues such as the treatment of his supporters with “disdain and outright outcast” and suggested that the super delegates conference of the NPP on August 26 was skewed in favor of a particular aspirant. He also raised concerns about the level of monetization in the party, describing it as unprecedented.
It will be interesting to see how this development shapes the political landscape leading up to the 2024 presidential elections in Ghana. If you have any specific questions or need more information about this situation, feel free to ask.
