NPP flagbearer hopeful Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen’s ‘pulling out’ of the NPP flagbearership race has stirred massive reactions from some celebrities and netizens to the ongoing discussion.
However, some have insisted that he should have persevered to the end, while others have supported his decision.
Celebrities including Serwaa Amihere, Kafui Dey, Afia Schwarzenegger, Berla Bundi, Nana Aba Anamoah, and others have also shared their varied responses to the development.
The NPP flagbearer hopeful announced his decision to step down on Tuesday, August 5, 2023, in a statement that went viral on social media, amidst shock and disappointment from Ghanaians.
“In light of the foregoing, I wish to confirm that I am honorably withdrawing from the process that will lead to the Presidential Primaries to be held on the 4th of November 2023. In the next upcoming weeks, I will provide an indication of the role that I will play in politics in Ghana, after consultations with my family and other well-wishers, various stakeholders and interest groups,” parts of the press statement read.
Mr. Kyerematen who placed third in the party’s August 26 special delegates conference said he pull out of the race following the intimidation of agents.
He also said the race seems to be deliberately structured to favour one of the candidates.
