The Member of Parliament for Mpreaso Constituency, Davis Ansah Opoku, has expressed disappointment over the resignation of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) stalwart, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen.
The unsuccessful NPP presidential aspirant, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, on Monday, September 25, 2023 announced that he had resigned from the party.
The former Minister of Trade, who also announced his bid to contest the 2024 polls as an independent candidate, complained about supposed divisiveness in the NPP and alleged hostile attacks on himself and his supporters for more than a decade now.
Reacting to the resignation in a statement, Member of Parliament for Mpreaso Constituency, Davis Ansah Opoku who was a staunch member of the Alan campaign team says the move is a disheartening departure from the principles of party loyalty and unity, which are fundamental to our democratic process.
“The NPP is a party of great ideals, and we must come together, reaffirm our loyalty to the party, and work tirelessly towards securing victory in the 2024 elections. The Party remains Supreme; our strength lies in our unity. Let us put aside our differences and focus on our shared goal of delivering progress, prosperity, and good governance to the people of Ghana,” he added.

Read full statement from the Member of Parliament below:
I have noted with grave dismay the decision of Mr Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, a man whom I have known for the last 17 years of my political life and had the privilege of working closely with, to resign from our party, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), and contest as an Independent Candidate in the 2024 general elections.
The decision is profoundly disappointing. It is a disheartening departure from the principles of party loyalty and unity, which are fundamental to our democratic process. The NPP has always thrived on the strength of its agreement and the collective support of its members.
I express my unwavering commitment to the New Patriotic Party and its vision for Ghana. With its proven track record of good governance and development, despite the challenges, I firmly believe that our party, the NPP, remains the best choice to lead our nation forward in the 2024 elections and beyond.
The NPP is a party of great ideals, and we must come together, reaffirm our loyalty to the party, and work tirelessly towards securing victory in the 2024 elections. The Party remains Supreme; our strength lies in our unity. Let us put aside our differences and focus on our shared goal of delivering progress, prosperity, and good governance to the people of Ghana.
Thank you, and may God bless the New Patriotic Party and the Republic of Ghana.
