Former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu has reacted to the resignation of former Presidential Candidate hopeful, John Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen.
Speaking in an interview with Adom TV, Mr.Boadu, the reasons assigned to the resignation were not sufficient enough.
He said, the reasons given did not commensurate with Mr.Kyerematen’s level of investment and contribution to the party.
“If you look at the reasons given they are not enough for him to take such decision in a party he has invested in over the years,” Mr.Boadu said.
The former scribe said, Mr.Kyerematen’s exit is worrying and could affect the party when not handled well.
“In an election, one vote could change the fortunes of the party,” he said.
This notwithstanding, he said the NPP is a strong party, adding that a lot can be done to turn things around.

Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has announced that the government has accepted the recommendation to abolish the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment as part of the constitutional review process.
He said the proposed amendment would affect Articles 3, 13, 19 and 72 of the 1992 Constitution, with offences that previously attracted the death penalty instead carrying life imprisonment.
Dr. Ayine made the announcement on July 30, 2026, at the Jubilee House in Accra during the Government Accountability Series while outlining the government’s position on the final recommendations of the Constitution Review Committee.
According to him, the government believes the death penalty is inconsistent with the constitutional right to life and Ghana’s international human rights obligations.
He explained that the recommendation forms part of broader proposals aimed at strengthening the protection of fundamental human rights under the Constitution.
Dr. Ayine said the government had also accepted the spirit of several recommendations to expand rights relating to women, children, persons with disabilities, older persons and the youth.
He added that a comprehensive Human Rights Act would be introduced to protect these rights and provide detailed enforcement mechanisms instead of amending the entrenched provisions of the Constitution through a national referendum.
