Alan Kyerematen says he was not required by any law to inform the New Patriotic Party (NPP) about his resignation before making it public.
The man who sought to lead the NPP to the 2024 general elections says he informed Ghanaians they were going to hear the role he will be playing in Ghana’s politics after pulling out of the flag bearer race and can therefore, not fathom why the leadership of the party is expressing worry about his decision.
In an exclusive interview on TV3’s New Day Wednesday, September 27, 2023, Mr. Kyerematen noted he wrote to the party before opting out of the November 4 presidential race, and does not see the need to do same to resign from the party.
A statement from the General Secretary of the NPP, Justin Kodua Frimpong, indicating the founding member of the NPP did not inform the party leadership before his exit, was what warranted this response from Mr. Kyerematen.
“If the General Secretary is lamenting over whether I informed him or not, was there a responsibility or requirement on my part to inform them?” he asked when he was hosted by Berla Mundi.
Mr. Kodua Frimpong had described the action as being “premeditated” since Mr. Kyerematen met him and the National Chairman, Stephen Ayesu Ntim, after the August 26 special delegates’ conference but failed to give them a hint of what he wanted to do.
“What does that mean to inform the party? What else is required administratively? If I am part of a party and I want to exit, the administration requirement is to inform them?” Alan wondered.
