Alan Is Not An Alternative- NDC
The National Democratic Congress has made a strong case against defected Presidential aspirant Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen over his decision to run independently in next year’s general election.
According to the opposition party, the former Trade and Industry Minister is not a trustworthy alternative for Ghana with his track record at the Ministry.
A statement from the General Secretary of the NDC, Sammy Gyamfi, emphasized that he has a hand in the destruction caused to the country’s economy.
“Alan is not a viable alternative to the failed incumbent NPP government. As a Cabinet Minister responsible for Trade and Industry and a member of the Economic Management team from 2017-2023, Alan Kwadwo Kyeremanteng actively participated in the destruction of the economy into the mess it is today.”
Sammy recalled that it was under his watch the Komenda Sugar Factory was “abandoned to rot” while the growth of the manufacturing sector “declined significantly and businesses were suffocated by the bad policies of his Ministry and government leading to several job losses.”
He asserted, “ALAN IS NOT AND CANNOT BE THE SOLUTION TO THE VERY MESS HE PARTICIPATED IN CREATING!”
He, however, empathized with Alan over treatments endured at the hands of NPP.
While announcing the forfeiture of his membership in the NPP at a press conference on September 25, Alan chronicled incidents of attacks and hostility his supporters have endured both in the past and present.
He alleged that his supporters are treated with “disdain” and as “outcasts” as a result of their association with him and noted that his continued stay in the party would only create further tension and division.
“Indeed the divisive and hostile attacks on my person and my supporters remained for several years thereafter, and have continued to date. It is common knowledge that any Party member who is associated directly or indirectly with Alan is treated with disdain and considered an outcast.”
After withdrawing from the flagbearership race of the NPP last month, Alan plans to pursue his presidential ambition as an Independent Candidate.
As such, he has begun a new movement to champion his policies
