Founding Father of the New Patriotic Party(NPP), Dr.Nyaho Tamakloe has advised former Presidential Aspirant, John Kwadwo Alan Kyerematen to contest the 2024 general election as Independent Candidate.
According to him, this would help Mr.Kyerematen test his popularity.
Speaking in an interview with TV3 New Day morning show on Wednesday, he said “Alan Kyerematen should contest the general election as Independent Candidate to test his popularity.”
Dr. Nyaho Tamakloe believes that Alan Kyerematen would have been a better candidate to salvage the NPP, however a militia put in place by the government has worked against him.
According to Alan Kyerematen should have know this and resigned from the government long time.
Alan Kyerematen surprisingly pulled out yesterday from the party’s final flagbearer election slated for November 4,2023.
In a statement the former Trade and Industries minister revealed that the Special Delegates Conference was strategically and tactically skewed in favour of one particular candidate.
Mr Kyerematen placed third in the NPP Super Delegates Congress held on Saturday, August 26, when he polled 95 votes representing 10.82 per cent of the total votes cast in the election won by the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia who won 629 votes, representing 68.15 per centof the total valid votes.

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.
