He announced this on Monday, September 25 in Accra at a press conference.<\/p>\n

This makes it the second time he is resigning from the NPP after he first did so in 2007 but later returned.<\/p>\n

Mr Kyerematen said that he had come to the realisation that his contributions were no longer needed in the party hence his resignation.<\/p>\n

He said this followed the harsh treatment meted out to his supporters by the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cPersons associated with me are treated with disdain and outright outcast,\u201d Mr Kyerematen who placed third in the super delegates conference of the NPP held on August 26 said.<\/p>\n

He accused the leadership of the NPP of skewing the internal elections in favour of one particular aspirant.<\/p>\n
