The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has expressed its respect for Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen’s decision to resign from the party.
During a press briefing on Tuesday, September 26, the NPP’s General Secretary, Justin Frimpong Koduah, acknowledged Mr. Kyerematen’s decision but expressed disappointment in the way it was executed.
Koduah noted that the party was taken by surprise as there was no prior notification to the party’s leadership before the public announcement.
He described Mr. Kyerematen’s decision as “pre-meditated” based on the manner of his resignation through a press conference. While acknowledging Mr. Kyerematen’s contributions to the party over the years, the NPP extended gratitude for his services and respected his decision.
Mr. Kyerematen, a former Trade and Industry Minister, resigned from the NPP on September 25 and declared his intention to run as an independent candidate in the 2024 elections, citing divisiveness within the party and alleged hostile attacks on himself and his supporters as reasons for his departure.
