In a shocking turn of events, Alan Kyeremanteng, a prominent figure within the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has announced his resignation from the party to launch an independent presidential campaign for the upcoming 2024 elections after failing to lead the NPP as its flagbearer.
Mr. Kyeremanteng, who has long been a leading member of the NPP, declared his intention to run for the presidency as a solo candidate during a press conference held earlier today in Accra following his abysmal performance in the super delegates conference of the NPP.
Alan Kyeremanteng, a seasoned politician and businessman, has been a key figure within the NPP for several years. He previously held various ministerial positions within the government and was considered a leading contender for the NPP’s presidential nomination. During the press conference, Mr. Kyeremanteng outlined his reasons for leaving the NPP and pursuing an independent presidential bid.
He cited the need for a fresh and innovative approach to governance, free from the constraints of party politics. Mr. Kyeremanteng emphasized his desire to unite the country and address pressing issues such as economic development, healthcare, and education without the influence of partisan interests. “I believe that Ghana deserves leadership that transcends party lines,” Mr. Kyeremanteng stated. “It is time for us to come together as a nation to tackle the challenges that lie ahead. My decision to run as an independent candidate reflects my commitment to a united, prosperous Ghana for all.”
He also urged the people of Ghana to vote for their preferred parliamentary candidate and himself as president to help achieve his “Great Transformational Plan” for Ghana in the 2024 general elections. Mr. Kyeremanteng’s independent presidential bid introduces an element of uncertainty to the upcoming 2024 elections. As the campaign season unfolds, it remains to be seen how his candidacy will resonate with voters and whether he can build a broad-based coalition to support his vision for the country.
