A political analyst who doubles as a financial engineer Mr. Alex Emmanuel Nti has said that breaking away from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) by Alan Kyeremanten to contest as an independent candidate could hurt both the NPP and NDC if they undermind his intention.
Analyzing the issue with Ohene Kinnah on Plan B FM’s, late afternoon show EBAANOSEN, Mr Nti explained that, Alan Kyeremanten is very humble and could win the hearts of floating voters and the academia if he reaches them for their support because Ghanaians are fed up with NPP and NDC.
He predicted that the former Trade and Industry Minister’s breakaway would affect the party, as he would take away some of NPP’s supporters base.
“They (NPP) should quickly put in place measures that will minimize the impact because whether you like it or not the man (Alan) is going to take away some support base from the party. If you want to break the 8, you cannot go into this contest with this particular incident if you don’t put in place measures. He will give them a run for their money,” he predicted.
Embattled former Trade and Industry Minister Alan John Kyerematen has resigned from the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The disappointed presidential aspirant who placed third during the party’s Super Delegates Congress will contest the 2024 election as an independent presidential candidate.
At a much-publicized press conference on Monday, September 25, he announced his immediate resignation.
“Fellow Countrymen and Women, under the circumstances and given the context provided, I wish to use this platform to announce that I honorably resigning with immediate effect from the New Patriotic Party to contest for the high office of the President of the Republic of Ghana in the 2024 General Elections, as an Independent Presidential Candidate.”
He explained “My decision to contest as an Independent Candidate will not destroy the Party, but instead provide the Party an opportunity to participate in a Government of National Unity in the future, and avoid the risk of going into opposition with no dividends, in what arguably will be a difficult general election in 2024.
“You can vote for your preferred choice of NPP Parliamentary Candidate and vote for Alan John Kwadwo
Kyerematen in the Presidential elections in December 2024, to become the sixth President of the fourth Republic of Ghana.”
Alan’s Movement for Change Party
Mr Kyerematen said for him to “Actualise this goal, I will establish and lead a new Movement for Change in Ghana.
“The brand logo for the MOVEMENT is the Monarch Butterfly, which politically symbolizes change and transformation, hope, and positivity. It also communicates strength, endurance, spirituality, and trust, which are key traits that I cherish as a Political Leader.
“In Akan, it is known as Afrafranto. The brand motto of the b is “Ghana Will Rise Again,” which symbolizes hope for the future of Ghana.”
The former Trades Minister said, “The new Movement will be led and powered by the youth of Ghana. Out of the over 17 million registered voters in the 2020 general election, the youth aged 18-35, years constituted over 9.4 million voters representing 55% of the total voters.”
“I believe, with unwavering conviction, that I am the only leader who, with unmatched integrity can guarantee the economic and industrial transformation of Ghana, the restoration of confidence in political leadership, and the unification of an increasingly divided nation.
“My unique selling proposition as a leader is Vision, Competence, Integrity and Action.”
