Independent presidential candidate Alan Kyerematen has been advised to consult extensively in filing his nomination forms with the Electoral Commission for the 2024 elections.

According to Kwaku Owusu Banahene, a communicator of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), the former New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful must engage the services of Dr. Kwadwo Afari Gyan and Mrs. Charlotte Osei, who are both former Electoral Commissioners, to thwart any attempt by the NPP to have him disqualified by the EC.

“When it comes to the filing of his forms, he should let Dr. Afari Gyan fill them out for him, and when he is done, Charlotte Osei should do the proofreading. She should scrutinize the documents carefully before he goes ahead to submit it.

"Else, the Electoral Commissioner will disqualify Alan. I am telling you, and you can mark it down. That is the avenue the NPP will use to have Alan Kyerematen disqualified,” he stated on Peace FM’s morning show on Monday, October 2, 2023.

Banahene noted that Mr. Kyerematen, who recently resigned from the NPP flagbearer contest, citing unfair treatment against himself and his supporters, commands a good following and will therefore prove a threat to the NPP.

He added that most current Members of Parliament who will lose in the NPP’s parliamentary primaries will follow in the path of Mr. Kyerematen and contest the 2024 elections as independent candidates.
