Managing Director of the State Transport Corporation (STC) and a leading member of the New Patriotic Party(NPP), Nana Akomea, has stated that the resignation of Alan Kyerematen from the NPP has no justification.
Mr Akomea believes the rationale behind the presidential aspirant’s resignation from the governing party is untenable.
He said that “the basis for his resignation and forming another party, there is no basis.”
One of the reasons Mr Kyerematen gave was the suspicion that the party had been unfairly skewed towards one candidate ahead of the NPP’s November polls to decide a flagbearer.
But the STC boss says this explanation by Mr Kyerematen does not hold water.
“A process that involves over 900 party stalwarts. You need to show us how it was skewed. The second process is going to involve over 200,000 party people from the polling station level to the national level. How are you going to skew them?” he quizzed.
Alan Kyerematen is gearing up to run for the presidency as an independent candidate in the 2024 election.
But Mr. Akomea disclosed that it would not be out of place for the party to engage with Mr. Kyerematen to explore the possibility of bringing him back into the fold.
“I hope that we keep talking to him, point out to him that this your course of action will not benefit you, it is not going to benefit the NPP, we are better off together,” he said on Newsfile on Joy news on Saturday, September 30.
