The majority leader in the House of Parliament, Hon. Osei-Kyei-Mensah Bonsu, says the leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) should find pragmatic ways to bring back Alan Kyerematen.
According to him, if punitive measures are put in place, Alan Kyerematen can come back to the party despite his resignation.
He added that Alan Kyerematen is one of the pillars of the party they shouldn’t allow to part ways with.
He admonished that the rank and file of the party should try all possible means to bring him back to the party, even if there is a slim opportunity to do so.
“I think that every effort must be made, even if it’s a one percent possibility. Let’s see what will come out of it. We are talking about Alan’s situation, where we are saying that let’s still engage if he will come back. To go into specifics will be difficult; it may hamper the reconciliation I’m suggesting.
“It’s possible to bring him back,” he said
Alan Kyerematen, who was one of the leading members of the NPP on September 25, 2023, pulled out of the party to run as an independent presidential candidate.
Alan has made it categorically clear that, even though it was his ambition to become the president of Ghana on the ticket of the NPP, the party has now been hijacked by ‘some party officials’.
“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.
“I wish to use this platform to announce that I am honourably resigning from the New Patriotic Party to contest for the high office of the President of the Republic of Ghana in the 2024 general elections as an independent presidential candidate,” he said.
