Member of Parliament (MP) representing Dormaa East, Paul Twum-Barimah, has confidently asserted that former Trade Minister and New Patriotic Party (NPP) Presidential aspirant, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, remains committed to the party.
This declaration comes in the wake of Alan Kyerematen’s unexpected withdrawal from the presidential race, citing reasons such as intimidation, violence, and bias. In his official statement, Alan alluded to a forthcoming evaluation of his political role within the NPP.
While speculation has arisen about the possibility of his departure from the party, Twum-Barimah, speaking to the media within the parliament, firmly maintained that Alan Kyerematen is here to stay.
He is determined to work towards the party’s success in the upcoming elections, aiming to break the cycle of two terms and secure another term for the NPP.
“NPP will always come out strong, NPP will always come out unified, I mean we are tried and tested and proved to be one of the best democratic parties on the continent and in the world, we will be among the top ones.
“Clearly, this is not the time I strongly believe that the party hierarchy or let me say the rank and file of the party will sit and realize that breaking the eight. We cannot break the eight with a divided front. We cannot break the eight with this person moving to the other side and the other person calling names and that,” Mr. Twum-Barimah indicated.
He continued: “This is the time that we need to sit around the table and all of us put our hands to the wheel and make sure that we break the eight. The current leader Nana Addo Dankwa is a symbol of unifier, we know that the party Chairperson, Chairman Ntim fantastic man with the General Secretary I am sure they are going to do a good job and they are going to call for a unity approach to whatever is going on this party.”
