The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has issued a response to Alan Kyerematen’s resignation from the party. While the NPP respects his decision, they expressed disappointment that he did not inform the party’s leadership before making the public announcement.

During a press briefing, the General Secretary of the NPP, Justin Frimpong Koduah, acknowledged Mr. Kyerematen’s decision but noted that the party was disappointed in the manner in which he chose to resign.

Mr. Koduah described the resignation as “pre-meditated,” citing the mode of resignation through a press conference without prior notice to the party.

Koduah also mentioned that when the National Chairman, Stephen Ntim, visited Kyerematen on behalf of the party after the August 26 Special Electoral College, there was no indication that Kyerematen planned to resign from the party, let alone run as an independent candidate.

Despite the disappointment, the NPP acknowledged Kyerematen’s contributions to the party’s growth and development over the years and expressed respect for his decision.

Alan Kyerematen resigned from the NPP on September 25 and announced his intention to contest the 2024 elections as an independent candidate, citing divisiveness within the party as one of his reasons for leaving.
