Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Former Trade Minister Alan Kyerematen has said his resignation from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) was not done in a clandestine manner.<\/b><\/p>\n

Mr Kyerematen who announced his resignation at a press conference in Accra on Monday, September 25 said he notified the national chair of his intention to resign.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Wednesday, September 27, he took a strong exception to the description of his resignation by some analysts as \u201cclanderstine.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NPP had expressed disappointment in the medium through which Mr Kyerematen resigned from the party.<\/p>\n

General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong told journalists on Tuesday, September 26 at the party\u2019s headquarters that resigning without first informing the party showed that Mr Kyerematen\u2019s decision was \u201cpremeditated\u201d.<\/p>\n

Prior to Mr Kyerematen\u2019s decision on Monday, September 25, the National Chairman of the party, Stephen Ayesu Ntim, had visited him and held a crucial meeting with him.<\/p>\n

The former Trade Minister is said to have assured Mr Ayesu Ntim of his commitment to the party.<\/p>\n

Therefore, it came as betrayal to announce his decision at a press conference.<\/p>\n

Mr Kodua Frimpong said the moment serves as an opportunity for the party to show grit and tenacity ahead of the 2024 elections.<\/p>\n

He urged party faithfuls to continue to rally behind the party and, at this crucial time, reaffirm commitment to the party.<\/p>\n

Aside resigning from the party, Mr Kyerematen also announced his decision to contest the 2024 elections as an independent presidential candidate.<\/p>\n
