Alan says he has left NPP but still conducts himself in a way that mimics NPP behaviour – Kwakye Ofosu

Former Deputy Information Minister of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Felix Kwakye Ofosu is not convinced Alan Kyerematen has indeed left the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as a changed person.

Alan Kyerematen, former Minister of Trade and Industry on Monday, September 25, announced his resignation from the NPP.

The announcement followed his withdrawal from the ruling party’s upcoming flagbearer election slated for November 4.

According to Alan Kyerematen, he has quit the NPP to contest as president in the 2024 General Elections as an Independent Candidate.

Since the announcement, the former Cabinet Minister under President Akufo-Addo’s government has stressed that although he is no longer a member of the NPP, he still believes in the ideologies of the party.

Not convinced by these and many pronouncements by Alan, Felix Kwakye Ofosu says it appears Alan’s announcement about resigning from the NPP is a sham.

According to him, it is surprising that the former Trade Minister continues to conduct himself in ways that mimic NPP’s behaviour.

“I am not sure that Ghanaians have the appetite anymore for the deceptive rhetoric and politicking of the NPP who Mr. Kyerematen says he has left. So one is surprised that he continues to conduct himself in ways that mimic NPP’s behavior. That’s very surprising,” Felix Kwakye Ofosu told TV3 during an engagement.

The NDC member further opined, “I thought that having declared his stance as leaving the NPP to contest as an independent candidate, he will leave some of the NPP traits behind because they have the tendency of looking truth in the face and blinking and saying something that is in complete variance with the truth.”

Felix Kwakye Ofosu is of the view that neither Alan Kyerematen nor any flagbearer who will be elected by the NPP can stand former President John Dramani Mahama in the 2024 General Elections.
