A former presidential aspirant of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Boakye Agyarko has opined that there are many people in the NPP today who have, out of dismay, resigned in their hearts and are only waiting to walk away from the party Nicodemus at the ballot box.

Mr. Agyarko’s comment follows the resignation of Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen who is considered to be one of the  ‘giants’ or stalwarts in the party.

Mr. Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, former Trade and Industry Minister on September 25 at a press conference in Accra announced that he has resigned from the NPP and has decided to go independent in the 2024 general election.

According to Mr. Agyarko, the unfortunate departure of Alan Kyerematen from the ranks must serve as a necessary and sufficient notice to all and lead to a time of deep introspection rather than a time for gloating or the display of triumphalist arrogance.

“The unfortunate departure of Alan Kyerematen from our ranks must serve a necessary and sufficient notice to us all and lead us to a time of deep introspection rather than a time for gloating or the display of triumphalist arrogance”, the former Minister of Energy noted in a statement.

He added that the tradition of the NPP must teach members that the consequences of events such as has now befallen them since the heady days of 1951 to date have always been negative and have cast a deep and lingering shadow on their electoral fortunes.

“At least, my brother Kyerematen has put his thoughts and feelings on paper for all to appreciate. How about the many who have similar and maybe more petulant sentiments in their hearts but are not openly expressing the same? There are many in our party today who have, out of dismay, resigned in their hearts and are only waiting to walk away from us at the ballot box.”

“Now is the time to smoothen ruffled feathers and assuage wounded sentiments across the length and breadth of our party. Now is the time to examine ourselves if indeed we are true and faithful to the tenets and values of the UP tradition or if we have metamorphosed into an ugly shadow of what we should be. These must become the urgent task ahead of us,” he added.
