Tensions within Ghana’s New Patriotic Party (NPP) have escalated following a strong warning from Chairman Kwadwo Boateng Agyemang against any move to readmit former Trade Minister John Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen into the party.
Chairman Agyemang expressed firm opposition to the idea, asserting that allowing Kyerematen to return would be a betrayal of the party’s loyal members. “I swear, I don’t think he would come. But if the party agrees to accept him, we will mobilize and resist it,” Agyemang declared in a strongly worded statement.
Kyerematen, once a key figure within the NPP, left the party in the lead-up to the 2024 general elections to form his own political movement. His departure sparked widespread controversy, particularly among grassroots supporters who viewed the move as an act of disloyalty.
“If the party accepts Alan back, we will stage demonstrations against the leadership,” Agyemang continued, echoing the sentiments of many within the party who remain disappointed by Kyerematen’s exit.
Agyemang also criticized the notion of granting Kyerematen what he called a “second amnesty.” Drawing a sharp analogy, he said, “What is amnesty? Do we grant it twice? If someone is pardoned for a crime and repeats it, should they expect another pardon?”
The chairman further questioned Kyerematen’s loyalty and contributions to the NPP. “He was the first person appointed by President Akufo-Addo before the party won the 2016 election. Alan hasn’t outperformed most of us—he is ungrateful.”
Agyemang’s remarks reflect broader unrest within the party ranks as discussions intensify over Kyerematen’s possible reintegration. The issue continues to stir strong emotions and signals a potential internal rift if party leadership moves forward with reconciliation efforts.
