National Women’s Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kate Gyamfua has delivered a strong caution to Alan Kyerematen regarding his decision to run as an independent candidate in the upcoming 2024 elections.
During an interview on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo Show on May 3, 2024, Gyamfua expressed her concerns about what she viewed as Alan’s lack of appreciation for the party that had supported his political journey for more than fifteen years.
She emphasized the perceived betrayal of Alan’s departure to establish his own movement, citing his long history within the NPP as a minister during both President Kufuor and President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s administrations.
“If I see an NPP member who has abandoned the party I get worried, look at the people who have gone to form the Afranfranto Movement.
“During President Kufuor’s time, you were a minister for 8 years, and during Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s tenure, you served as a minister for seven years. That’s a total of 15 years. And yet, you just turn your back on the party because the members didn’t vote for you during the primaries.
“Not that you were cheated or Bawumia went unopposed and you just decided to stand against your government. Karma is real and God will judge us all,” Kate Gyamfua stated.
Gyamfua highlighted the significance of loyalty to the party and criticized what she saw as Alan’s entitlement to the party’s top position based on his tenure.
She pointed out that Alan’s decision to contest independently stemmed from his belief that he deserved the highest position within the party without the necessary competition.
“Alan was overly pampered in the party, like a baby, that made him feel as if he is entitled to the seat. But even royal positions are fought for,” she added.
Gyamfua concluded by expressing her hope that Alan Kyerematen would reconsider his stance and return to the NPP fold.
