Kumawu NDC sacks Women’s Organizer for declaring support for Alan
Madam Akua Afriyie, a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) at Kumawu has been sacked for her declaration to support an aspiring flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen.
She indicated her admiration for the NPP presidential hopeful even though she is a member of the opposition National Democratic Congress.
According to her, her sack came shortly after the video of her declaration of support for Alan went viral during the Kumawu by-election.
She had said that though she was an NDC member, if the NPP presented Alan as their flagbearer in the 2024 elections, she will gladly vote for him. She stated then that Alan had a vision that could save this country and give the teeming youth hope.
Akua Afriyie says she is now a floating voter, having been served with a dismissal letter.
“I am currently not a member of the NDC or a member of the NPP but l am a strong supporter of Mr. Kyerematen,” she said.
She has cautioned that if the NPP denies Mr. Kyerematen the opportunity to lead the party, she will simply stay clear of the 2024 elections.
Akua Afriyie is amongst the huge number of voters with the NDC , whose love for Mr. Kyerematen is beyond partisan politics and makes the case of the NPP winning the election 2024 with Alan a reality.
Meanwhile, the constituency delegates Durbar for the Kumawu, Afram Plains and Effiduase Asokore constituencies was massively attended with delegates vowing that it will not happen this time around Alan will not win.
The delegates assured in unison that discerning Ghanaians are now fully awake from their slumber and would not allow themselves to be taken unawares.
They contended that it is Alan’s time to lead the party and nothing should stand his way this time round.

Manhyia would serve as Ghana’s unifying force …Otumfuo assures on commemoration of 27 years on the Golden Stool
The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, last Friday celebrated his 27th enstoolment with a colourful and culture-rich ceremony at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi, drawing a distinguished gathering of dignitaries from across Ghana and beyond.
Clad in splendid kente and adorned in rich traditional regalia, the dignitaries added colour and elegance to the occasion, as the palace grounds came alive with a vibrant display of Ghanaian culture.
Traditional drumming, dancing and symbolic rites underscored the deep-rooted heritage of the Ashanti Kingdom, captivating guests and reaffirming the value of tradition in modern society.
Speaking at a high-level Executive Gala organised by the Diaspora Affairs Office of the Office of the President in strategic partnership with the E ON 3 Group, the ‘World-Meets-in-Ghana’ gala, the Asantehene urged Ghanaians to guard against the divisive tendencies of partisan politics.
The event was to honour the Asantehene’s nearly three-decade reign under the theme ‘Advancing Peace and Sustainable Economic Development through Royal Vision’.
Otumfuo Osei Tutu II noted that such attitudes threatened the country’s long-standing values of unity, civility and brotherliness.
He assured that Manhyia would continue to serve as a unifying force for the nation.
The celebration also featured the presentation of commemorative gold coins to notable national leaders, including the President, John Dramani Mahama, former Presidents John Agyekum Kufuor and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as well as Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, a former Vice President in recognition of their contributions to peace and national development.
