NPP Collapsed Long Time Ago – Alan2 min read

Asked why he did not vent his displeasure at this until now that he has resigned from the party, he said it was because he did not want to be seen as the cause of any internal implosion of the party.

Mr Kyerematen was speaking on Accra-based UTV on Tuesday, September 26, when he made this observation.

It comes barely 24 hours after he officially resigned from the ruling party and declared his intention to contest the 2024 elections as an independent candidate.

On Monday, September 25, exactly 20 days after withdrawing from NPP’s presidential race, Mr Kyerematen said the NPP has taken a different form from the one he joined in 1992.

“I joined the New Patriotic Party at the very beginning of its establishment as a founding member, believing in its core values and the long-standing traditions of its antecedents, predicated on fairness, equity, probity, accountability, and transparency,” he said on Monday.

“I have devoted the best part of my professional career to serving the party, and I still believe in the vision of the founding fathers of the party.

‘However, the NPP as it exists now has very little resemblance to the party that I joined in 1992 and helped to nurture.

“The party has been hijacked by a selected group of party leaders and elders, government appointees, ‘behind the curtain power brokers’ and some unscrupulous Party apparatchiks.”

Stressing on UTV, he said this destruction happened long ago and his resentment had accumulated over the period.

Speaking in Twi, he said it was about time he used a different vehicle to get to his destination because the NPP is not allowing him to drive them to the promised land.
