The current leadership of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has hijacked the party, Alan Kyerematen has claimed.
Mr. Kyerematen made the accusation following his resignation from the NPP with immediate effect to pursue his 2024 presidential ambition as an candidate.
Speaking on Monday, at the Movenpick Hotel in Accra he said: “The party has been hijacked by a selected group of party leaders and elders, government appointees, “behind the curtain power brokers and some unscrupulous party apparatchiks.
“It was my fervent wish to use the vehicle of the party to bring my God given talents, experience, and knowledge acquired both locally and internationally over a period of 46 years, to serve our dear nation, Ghana at the highest level of executive authority,” he said.
According to him, there is much evidence that the NPP were not in need of his services, hence his decision to resigned.
“It is abundantly clear to me, that my services and contributions to the party are not appreciated, and that my continuous stay in the Party will create further tension and division, which is an exact replay of circumstances that led to my decision to resign from the party in 2008,” he added.
