Solomon Owusu (L) and Alan Kyerematen
A leading member of the Movement for Change, Solomon Owusu, has expressed skepticism about the possibility of his party’s 2024 Presidential Candidate, Alan Kyerematen, rejoining the New Patriotic Party (NPP), stating that such a move could come as a surprise to him.
Speaking in a recent interview on TV3, he stated that the call for the return of some persons expelled from the party is not sincere.
“I will be extremely surprised if Alan goes back to the NPP. He was part of the individuals who were unjustly hunted out of the party in 2015 under the very influence of those now preaching reconciliation.
“To now act as though unity matters is sad; it’s not genuine. I haven’t heard Alan speak to this. He hasn’t told me if he wants to return to the NPP, but I would be extremely surprised if he even considers it,” he stated.
According to him, those who once victimised others in the party now find themselves in similar situations.
“All of a sudden, Kennedy Agyapong comes in and says I want to be a president; because Alan is taking the grassroots; because the establishment realised that the only person that comes and destabilises Alan is Kennedy Agyapong, that’s why I don’t sympathise and empathise with any of them,” he added.
Speaking during the recent launch of the NPP’s nationwide Thank You Tour, Kennedy Agyapong stressed that true reconciliation is key to rebuilding the party after its electoral defeat in 2024.
“If we want to unite again as a party, I stand before the national executives to say that they should extend amnesty to Paul Afoko, Alan Kyerematen, and anybody who has been suspended, for them to come back,” he appealed.
