He stated that the NPP constitution only binds the members of the party from contesting but Alan Kyeremanten has resigned and nothing binds or holds him from contesting in the 2024 general election.

The minister of state at the Ministry of Local Government, Decentralisation and Rural Development (MLGDRD) and New Patriotic Party MP for Akwapim South in the Eastern Region, O B Amoah, has said that the NPP can launch a court action against Alan Kyerematen to stop him from standing as an independent candidate.

Amoah said that under Article 13(7)(f) of the NPP constitution, which is one of several provisions governing the election of the party’s presidential candidate, the NPP can stop Kyerematen or any other candidate who filed his or her nomination forms to contest the party’s presidential primaries from going independent because they sign an undertaking to that effect.
