Alan Kyerematen benefited greatly from the NPP – Henry Nana Boakye

In a revealing interview with Fiifi Pratt on Kingdom FM, Henry Nana Boakye, the National Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), shared his thoughts on the controversial departure of Alan Kyerematen from the party.

Alan Kyerematen, once a prominent contender for the NPP’s flagbearer position, made headlines when he decided to establish his movement after losing the race to Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia during the first round.

Nana Boakye indicated that Kyerematen’s move to create a new party came as a surprise to him and the party in general.

“Honestly, it was unforeseen,” Nana Boakye admitted. “In any competition, there can only be one victor.

“We all knew that Mahamudu Bawumia was the clear choice for the NPP flagbearer, but to see Alan Kyerematen take this step was unexpected.” He lamented.

Kyerematen’s decision to break away from the NPP has sparked intense debate within the party and the broader political landscape.

While some supporters see it as a betrayal, others view it as Kyerematen’s right to seek new opportunities.

However, Nana Boakye made it clear that, despite the disappointment, the party must remain focused on its mission. “We are all in this together.

Other candidates who did not succeed in securing the flagbearer position, like Alan, are still part of the NPP and are actively supporting the party,” he emphasized.

“Unity and collaboration behind the leader are crucial if we are to achieve our shared goal of victory in the 2024 elections.”

The departure of Kyerematen has caused a rift within the NPP, with many questioning whether this new party could split the vote and diminish the party’s chances in the upcoming general election.

Nana Boakye, however, reiterated the NPP’s commitment to unity and progress.

“At the end of the day, the NPP is bigger than any one person.

‘The party’s objective is to ensure a prosperous future for Ghana, and we must work together to make that happen,” he stated.

Nana Boakye did not shy away from expressing his feelings of betrayal over Kyerematen’s departure, given his long-standing association with the NPP.

“Alan has benefited significantly from the NPP, and for him to turn his back on the party like this is painful,” he remarked.

“The sense of betrayal is real, but as a party, we must keep our focus on the bigger picture, which is winning the 2024 elections and continuing the work started by President Akufo-Addo.”

Despite the challenges posed by Kyerematen’s exit, Nana Boakye remains hopeful about the NPP’s prospects in the upcoming election.
