Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, Member of Parliament for South Dayi, has reacted to the withdrawal of Alan Kyerematen from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primaries.
Dafeamakpor made his post hours after the former trade minister announced his withdrawal from the race scheduled for November 4, 2023.
"The Hon. Alan John Kodjo Kyeremateng has withdrawn from the November 4th Npp Flagbearership contest. Watch out for Ken," the MP tweeted on September 5, 2023.
Alan placed third in the NPP's Super Delegates Conference, behind Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong.
September 5, 2023 started with a planned press conference long advertised by Alan's team as one of the biggest news events to look up to.
That was not to be when information was circulated that the press conference had been called off.
"This is to kindly inform the general public that the Press Conference scheduled for today, Tuesday, Sept. 5th 2023 at Movenpick Ambassador Hotel at 2:00pm has been cancelled," a message circulated on his social media handles noted.
Five hours on, at around 7:00pm, Alan has shot himself into the news headlines with the withdrawal announcement.
The Hon. Alan John Kodjo Kyeremateng has withdrawn from the November 4th Npp Flagbearership contest.
