Pollster, Ben Ephson has told Alan Kyerematen that the only way he can possibly ascend to the highest of the land is by running as an independent candidate in the 2024 general election.
The veteran Ghanaian journalist aired his views on this subject when he was recently hosted in the studios of Metro TV. In his words;
“Now clearly, Alan is either, I suspect, going to contest as an independent presidential candidate, that will be his best way out. As an independent presidential candidate, you will have people seeking your interest.”
Tru News Report previously shed light on this trending topic when it said Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen has shockingly withdrawn his candidacy as far as the flagbearership slot of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) is concerned.
He made the announcement in a statement dated September 5, 2023. The core point of his seemingly lengthy speech indicates that the race seems to be deliberately skewed to favour one of the candidates.
“In light of the foregoing, I wish to confirm that I am honourably withdrawing from the process that will lead to the Presidential Primaries to be held on the 4th of November 2023. In the next upcoming weeks, I will provide an indication of the role that I will play in politics in Ghana, after consultations with my family and other well-wishers, various stakeholders and interest groups,” he added.
“The level of intimidation of varying intensity, directly and indirectly, unleashed on a significant number of Delegates at various Voting Centers across the sixteen regions, is unprecedented in the history of our Party.”
“In addition, the fact that my Polling Agent in the North East region has suffered severe damage to his eyesight, arising from his bold and courageous effort to ensure compliance with the very rules and regulations for the conduct of the elections as approved by the Presidential Elections Committee, will forever remain a dark spot in the history of internal elections within the Party.
“This incident and various acts of violence and collusion, reported in other Voting Centers, are appalling, unconscionable, and despicable. I am committed to, and value the safety of those who work with me and for me, and I will always fight for their interest.”
“I wish all the other Aspirants well as they continue on their journey. I also wish to use this opportunity to express my profound gratitude once again to my family, the Alan 4 President (A4P) Campaign Team, and all my teeming supporters in Ghana and from around the world, who have supported me in diverse ways over the years. Please be assured that the battle is still the Lord’s, and that those who wait upon the Lord shall have their strength renewed”.
