Alan’s United Party rejects NPP ‘amnesty’ offer

Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen’s newly rebranded United Party has dismissed suggestions that its members who broke away from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) could be granted “amnesty” to rejoin.

Speaking to supporters, the party’s National Chairman, Abubakar Saddique Boniface, rejected the idea outright, insisting that the United Party had no intention of returning to the NPP.

“We were sacked from the NPP, and now they claim they want to grant us amnesty? We will not go back,” he declared to loud cheers.

Mr Boniface argued that the NPP lacked the moral right to offer forgiveness when, according to him, no wrongdoing had been committed to justify their expulsion.

“What crime did our leader commit? What crime did I commit? You sacked us, and now you say you’re granting amnesty? No way,” he stated.

He further likened their split from the NPP to an irreversible divorce under Islamic law.

“When you divorce a woman three times in Islam, she’s no longer your wife, not now, not ever,” he said, drawing applause from the crowd.

Alan Kyerematen, a former Trade and Industry Minister, resigned from the NPP in 2023 following deep internal divisions and what he described as unfair treatment during the party’s leadership race.

He later founded the Movement for Change, which has since been rebranded as the United Party.
