In a startling turn of events, Alan Kyerematen, a prominent figure in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and former Minister for Trade and Industry, has made a surprising announcement. He has declared his decision to distance himself from the party and run as an independent candidate in the upcoming 2024 elections.

Kyerematen’s choice has reverberated across the political landscape, as he has been a steadfast NPP member for many years. This seasoned politician is widely recognized for his contributions to the NPP and his roles in various government positions.

However, during a press conference held in Accra on Monday, September 25, Mr. Kyerematen expressed his belief that his services and contributions to the party were not appreciated.

He stated that his continued presence in the party would only exacerbate tension and division, reminiscent of the circumstances that led to his resignation from the party in 2008.

Under the current circumstances and in light of the provided context, Kyerematen announced his honorable resignation from the New Patriotic Party with immediate effect.

He intends to contest the position of President of the Republic of Ghana in the 2024 General Elections as an Independent Presidential Candidate.

Kyerematen remains committed to addressing pressing national issues, including economic development, job creation, and social welfare.

His independent candidacy presents a unique challenge to Ghana’s established political order and has the potential to reshape the country’s political landscape.

This marks the second time Mr. Kyerematen has left the NPP, with his previous departure in 2008 before rejoining the party. His latest move is a significant development in Ghanaian politics.
