The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, alias Wontumi, has questioned the loyalty of former flagbearer hopeful of the party, Alan Kyerematen, during his time with the NPP.

According to Chairman Wontumi, Mr. Kyerematen, who is contesting the 2024 presidential election as an independent candidate after resigning from the NPP, is a classic definition of a treacherous person, confirmed by his recent criticism of former President John Agyekum Kufuor.

“One gentleman who was with us called Alan Kyerematen, has shown clearly through his actions that he has never loved the NPP, and just as Judas betrayed Jesus, that is how Alan Kyerematen has betrayed the NPP and President Kufuor,” he stated during a press conference on Thursday, November 21, 2024.

He accused Mr. Kyerematen of being ungrateful and a betrayer who sold out the NPP and former President Kufuor to their opponents, the National Democratic Congress.

“It was J.A. Kufuor who saw you, Alan Kyerematen. The power to appoint is reserved for the president, and he gave you the role of ambassador, after which he made you a minister for trade. Akufo-Addo, during his term, also gave you the position of trade minister again. Akufo-Addo, in his second term, gave you the position again,” Wontumi said.

Former President Kufuor recently granted an interview to some journalists where he endorsed the candidature of the NPP’s presidential candidate, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

Mr. Kyerematen, who has since described President Kufuor’s endorsement as a big blot on his illustrious political career, questioned the basis of the former president’s endorsement while calling the vice president’s competence into question.

However, according to Chairman Wontumi, this action by Alan Kyerematen not only proves his disloyalty to the NPP in the first place but also confirms him as a stooge being used by the opposition National Democratic Congress.

Ghana will go to the polls on Saturday, December 7, 2024, to elect a new president and legislators.
