Alan Kyerematen left NPP out of greed- Chairman Wontumi
The Ashanti Regional chairman of the New Patriotic Party(NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, known in the political circles as Chairman Wontumi has described Alan Kyerematen’s decision to leave the party as greed.
He said the only reason for which Alan Kyerematen left to form his Movement for Change, was purely out of greed and nothing else.
Speaking on Wontumi FM, he said Alan Kyeremanteng had the opportunity to serve outside the country and later was made Minister of Trade under former President John Agyekum Agyekum Kufuor’s administration and in 2007 competed against Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, which he lost.
According to him, Alan Kyerematen returned again in 2012 to contest Nana Addo Dankwa which he lost for the second time, adding that Alan Kyerematen did not give up and returned to contest Nana Addo again in 2015 and was defeated at the primaries.
The Ashanti Regional Chairman further added that it was in only 2018 that he did not contest, however he was Trade Minister under the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo led government.
“NPP did nothing wrong against him, rather he was rewarded by all NPP governments. His only reason for leaving the party was as a result of greed. You don’t stay with us here in Kumasi, you stay in Accra, so why do you have your headquarters here if not for bad intentions,” he asserted.
According to the Ashanti Regional chairman, there is no more disunity in the party after the announcement of Mathew Opoku Prempeh as the running mate of Dr.Bawumia which he added is an important signal for victory.
Alan officially submitted his resignation letter indicating he was no longer interested in being a member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) on Monday September 25, 2023.
Immediately after that, he addressed a press conference and announced his decision to contest 2024 as an independent candidate, leading to the formation of a movement called “Movement for Change” with a Monarch Butterfly as the symbol.
