Mr. Alan Kyerematen, former Trade and Industry Minister has indicated that all survey conducted both locally and international shows that the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) will lose power in 2024 elections.
Mr. Alan Kyerematen made this statement while speaking in an interview with TV3 shortly after he announced his resignation from the NPP.
According to him, his resignation and decision to contest for the 2024 Presidential seat as an independent candidate will provide an opportunity for NPP not go into opposition.
“My standing an independent candidate who has root from the NPP as a founding member, I am providing an opportunity for NPP to be part of the future government rather than risking possibility of going into opposition with no dividends,” he said.

In a related news, Sammy Gyamfi, the National Communications Officer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has declared that Alan Kyerematen cannot be the answer to the mess the government of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, in which he took part, caused.
He claimed that Alan is not a suitable replacement for the NPP’s failed current administration.
He claimed that Alan actively contributed to the demise of the economy from 2017 to 2023 as the Cabinet Minister in charge of Trade and Industry and a member of the Economic Management team.
Sammy Gyamfi added that while Alan was in charge, the Komenda Sugar Factory was left to rot for nearly six years as the manufacturing sector’s growth sharply slowed and businesses were choked off by his Ministry’s and the government’s bad policies leading to several job losses.
He claimed that under the direction of the despotic tyrant President Nana Akufo-Addo, who is hellbent on installing his puppet as his successor and continues to oppress people who disagree with him, there is no way Alan could have received even a modicum of fairness or justice in the ongoing presidential primaries of the NPP.
