NPP leadership under Akufo-Addo has ‘short memory’ – Alan Kyeremanten

The immediate-past Trade and Industry Minister, Alan Kyeremanten, says the current leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has short memory compared to the past.

He pointed out that the NPP under president Akuffo-Addo has no resemblance to the previous one he helped to cultivate.

In his address on Monday, September 25, 2023, Alan Kyeremanten  said “…the NPP as it exists now has very little resemblance to the Party that I joined in 1992 and helped to nurture.”

He further added that the NPP has been hijacked by a selected group of party leaders, elders and government appointees, who he termed as “behind the curtain power brokers” and “some unscrupulous party apparatchiks.”

He made emphasis on the unappreciated contributions and services he had rendered to the party compared to the previous and the current.

“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 said.
