- At a public forum on Monday dubbed “ALAN SPEAKS”, Alan Kyerematen, who withdrew from the NPP’s presidential election, announced his decision to leave the party and become an independent presidential candidate
- Alan Kyerematen, a former minister of trade and industry, claims that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has been taken over by its current leadership.
- As a result, Kyerematen withdrew from the NPP’s presidential race and announced at a public forum on Monday 25th September, that he had left the party in order to run for president as an independent.
- He claimed that a chosen number of party elders, leaders, “behind the scenes power brokers,” and dishonest party apparatchiks had taken control of the party.
- “It was my fervent wish to use the vehicle of the party to bring my God given talents, experience, and knowledge acquired both locally and internationally over a period of 46 years, to serve our dear nation, Ghana at the highest level of executive authority,” he said.
- “It is abundantly clear to me, that my services and contributions to the party are not appreciated, and that my continuous stay in the Party will create further tension and division, which is an exact replay of circumstances that led to my decision to resign from the party in 2008.”
- Kyerematen therefore declared that: “Under the circumstances and given the context provided, I wish to use this platform to announce that I am honourably 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.
- “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 MOVEMENT is “Ghana Will Rise Again,” which symbolizes hope for the future of Ghana.
- “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% (Fifty five percent) of the total voters.”
