Alan Kyerematen, the leader of the Movement for Change, has accused former President John Agyekum Kufuor of campaigning against his bid in the presidential elections.
According to him, the former president’s endorsement of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, seems to be targeted against him.
He claims that he is among the main contenders in the election and believes that the NDC flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, cannot be downplayed by Kufuor as both of them are former statesmen.
He also cautioned Kufuor to desist from making public endorsements about the election.
Speaking in an interview on Starr FM on December 5, 2024, he stated, “I will tell President Kufuor that after a distinguished career in politics, he should stay out of election pronouncements about the pending election.
“You may recall that this is not the first time that he is endorsing the vice president, and nobody had any difficulty with that. But when you go to the extent of making comparisons that he is better or the best, then it means that you are campaigning against the two of us.
“And the way I see it, if he was saying this also in respect of former President John Mahama, then it is very strange because I will find it difficult to understand how he will be able to convince the NDC that Bawumia is better than former President John Mahama.
“It would be strange for a former head of state to make a judgment against another former head of state. So if that were the case, then I take it that he is basically campaigning against me.”
