Catherine Afeku has distanced herself from the camp of Alan following his resignation from NPP

Former Tourism Minister, Catherine Afeku, has distanced herself from Alan Kyerematen’s camp after he announced his resignation from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and his intention to contest the 2024 elections as an Independent Candidate.

Catherine Afeku, who played an active role in the Alan for President Campaign during the NPP’s Presidential primaries, has clarified that she remains a member of the NPP and will not join any other political party.

Addressing journalists in Accra, Madam Afeku affirmed her loyalty to the NPP, stating, “I am a loyal patriot, and I am in the party [NPP]. The party is supreme. We are the NPP.”

Abena Osei-Asare, Deputy Finance Minister, also distanced herself from Alan’s choice on Monday.

Mrs. Osei-Asare, a supporter of Mr. Kyerematen, acknowledged her personal and professional relationship with him but emphasized that her “dedication to the New Patriotic Party is deep-seated and rooted” in their shared values.

The Member of Parliament (MP) for Mpraeso, Davis Opoku Ansah, has indicated that the over 20 New Patriotic Party MPs who supported Alan Kyerematen in the Special Delegates Conference will not support his move.
