Some of us followed him to the Movement of Change when he withdrew from the presidential primaries. Upon advice from national campaign leadership, we, the youth in the Central Region, who campaigned for Alan and his Movement for Change, have decided to return to our mother party, the NPP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs former president John Kofi Agyekum Kufuor once said, it is better to be a messenger in a ruling party than to be a general secretary in a position party. NPP has undertaken numerous departmental projects within its almost eight-year term in office. We want the NPP to continue its progress rather than an opposition party that lacks direction.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some supporters of Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen\u2019s Movement for Change in the Central have defected to the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) ahead of the 2024 general elections.
