Ramadan: Alan Kyerematen joins Chief Imam for Iftar

A presidential candidate hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Alan Kyerematen, has joined the Muslim community in a solemn prayer session (Iftar) programme in the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency in Accra.

The former Minister of Trade and Industry, resides in the constituency, joined the Muslim community and the Office of the National Chief Imam, to break their fast on Wednesday, April 19, 2023.

He was joined by top ranking officials of his campaign team at the Iftar, where he used the opportunity to preach for religious coexistence and love for each other.

The Chief Imam was represented by Alhaji Abdul Lateef and Imam Muktari Abbass - both senior officials of the Office of the Chief Imam.
