Alan Kyeremanten has hauled President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s name into his resignation saga.
The former Trade Minister, who just resigned from the New Patriotic Party, admitted he subverted protocol by refusing to inform the President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, about his decision to exit the party beforehand.
He says it was a personal decision, and there was no need to inform anyone because he does not take instructions from people. “I went to a contest, and after my review of the contest, I decided to exit the party. I don’t have to inform anyone. I am an established man, and I don’t take instructions from people. I might look younger, but I’m an elderly man,” he said on Accra-based UTV.
Alan Kyeremanten, on Monday, September 25, 2023, announced his resignation from the New Patriotic Party (NPP). He indicated that he needed to leave the political party after years of persecution from the leadership of the party.
Parts of his speech said, “Under the circumstances and given the context provided, I wish to use this platform to announce that I am honourably resigning with immediate effect from the New Patriotic Party to contest for the high office of the President of the Republic of Ghana in the 2024 General Elections, as an Independent Presidential Candidate“.
“To actualise this goal, I will establish and lead a new MOVEMENT FOR CHANGE in Ghana.The brand logo for the MOVEMENT is the Monarch Butterfly, which politically symbolizeschange and transformation, hope, and positivity. It also communicates strength, endurance, spirituality, and trust, which are key traits that I cherish as a Political Leader. In Akan, it is known as Afrafranto. The brand motto of the MOVEMENT is “Ghana Will Rise Again,” which symbolizes hope for the future of Ghana.”
