Independent Presidential hopeful for 2024 and leader of the Movement for Change, Alan Kojo Kyerematen appears unperturbed by the defection of several prominent figures from his political camp within the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
According to him, this was anticipated because such individuals are riding on the influence of the party to enter or retain their seats in parliament. He noted, that such individuals has no choice.
Following the resignation of the former trade minister from the ruling NPP, several individuals who registered their support for Mr Kyeremanten have rescinded their support.
Former Tourism Minister, Catherine Afeku, has made it clear that she is not aligning herself with Alan Kyerematen’s decision to resign from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and run as an Independent Candidate in the 2024 elections.
Catherine Afeku, who actively supported Alan Kyerematen has emphasized her commitment to remaining a member of the NPP and has no intentions of joining any other political party.
Also, Deputy Finance Minister, Abena Osei-Asare and Member of Parliament for the Mpraeso Constituency, Davis Ansah Opoku, have distanced themselves from Alan’s camp citing loyalty to the party as reason.
But reacting to this development, Mr Kyerematen says he is unperturbed, as this move comes as no surprise to him.
