Presidential hopeful, Alan Kyeremanten, has challenged O.B. Amoah, the Minister of State at the Ministry of Local Government, Decentralisation, and Rural Development (MLGDRD). His challenge is in response to Amoah’s comments suggesting that the NPP possesses legal means to prevent Alan Kyerematen from running as an independent candidate in the upcoming elections, asaaradio.com reports.
OB Amoah, in an interview with Adom TV, referenced Article 13 (7) (f) of the NPP constitution, which outlines the party’s rules for presidential candidate elections. According to him, candidates who submit nomination forms for the party’s presidential primaries are required to sign an undertaking.
Expressing his disappointment with OB Amoah’s comments, the aspiring independent candidate, Alan Kyerematen, asserted that both being lawyers, they should resolve this matter in a court of law. In an interview on Kessben TV, Alan Kyerematen stated, “I am very disappointed in someone like OB Amoah.
He is my kid brother, and he says he is a lawyer. You come and quote such a thing on National Television, claiming I have signed some undertaking to join the race, and now that I have resigned from the party, you want to chase me outside the party. “The mischief in our party is the reason everyone is disappointed. O.B. Amoah, you are a minister and a lawyer; you didn’t have anything reasonable to say than this. He is a lawyer, I am also a lawyer; let’s meet in court,” he said.
Former New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen, announced that he will be running as an independent candidate in the 2024 presidential elections.
