Alan Kyerematen to reveal political future in highly anticipated address today

A former New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential hopeful, Alan Kyerematen, is set to make a crucial announcement about his political future today, September 25, 2023.

The address is scheduled for 2 p.m. at the Movenpick Ambassador Hotel in Accra.

Since his decision to withdraw from the presidential race, there’s been speculation that Alan may sever ties with the NPP and pursue his presidential ambitions as an independent candidate.

He withdrew from the race, citing electoral irregularities, unfair treatment, and bias during the NPP super delegates’ conference.

In his withdrawal statement, the former Trades and Industry Minster expressed concerns that these issues might persist in the final November 4 primary if he remained in the race.

He promised to provide clarity on his political role in the country after consulting with his family, well-wishers, stakeholders, and interest groups.

While accepting his withdrawal, the NPP disagreed with Kyerematen’s claims that the election had been skewed in favor of any candidate.

The party, however, acknowledged ongoing investigations into incidents that occurred during the super delegates’ conference, some of which were referenced by Mr Kyerematen.

Alan Kyerematen’s performance in the initial selection process, which aimed to choose five candidates for the main election in November, surprised many.

He was considered a primary contender against Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia but placed third after Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong, securing 95 votes, equivalent to 10.82% of the total votes cast.
