Mr. John Alan Kwadwo Kyeremanten, the Founder of the Movement for Change, has recently faced scrutiny and criticism for his sudden change of stance and subsequent expressions of regret regarding the very system he was once a part of.
Baah Acheamfour, the Ashanti Regional Deputy Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has labelled him a hypocrite for attempting to portray himself as innocent and absolve himself of any responsibility.
According to Baah Acheamfour, Alan Kyeremanten, who previously served as the Trade Minister under the Akufo-Addo government, remained silent when several citizens lost their lives during the 2020 elections. This silence, Baah Acheamfour claims, was driven by Kyeremanten’s desire for power and his need to maintain his position as Minister.
The sudden shift in Kyeremanten’s stance and his subsequent lamentations have raised eyebrows and led to accusations of hypocrisy. Critics argue that his actions during his time in power contradict his current attempts to distance himself from the system he once supported.
It is important to note that these allegations and criticisms have sparked a heated debate, with supporters and opponents of Kyeremanten expressing their contrasting views on the matter.
“Eight (8) people died in the 2020 election, Alan Kyeremanten didn’t complain but when your agent was slapped in the eye now you begin to complain; because you wanted to be the trade minister”, Baah Acheamfour said.
“Gregory Afoko is still in prison you were here when his lawyers said that he is going blind did you complain” he asked and wondered the kind of hypocrisy he is currently showcasing
Alan John Kwadwo Kyeremanten resigned from the NPP presidential race after the special delegated election where one of his polling agents was assaulted.
In a statement to resign, Mr Kyerematen said, “After having carefully analyzed the results of the said elections, it is absolutely clear to me from events leading to, during and after the elections, that the Special Delegates Conference was strategically and tactically skewed in favour of one particular Aspirant”.
He also said the level of intimidation of varying intensity, directly and indirectly, unleashed on a significant number of Delegates at various Voting Centers across the sixteen regions, is unprecedented in the history of the NPP.
“The fact that my Polling Agent in the North East region has suffered severe damage to his eyesight, arising from his bold and courageous effort to ensure compliance with the very rules and regulations for the conduct of the elections as approved by the Presidential Elections Committee, will forever remain a dark spot in the history of internal elections within the Party”, Alan Kyeremanten said.
