Disappointed presidential hopeful of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen will address the public tomorrow [Monday, September 25] on his political future.

The address will take place at 2:00 p.m. at the Movenpick Ambassador Hotel in Accra.

This follows the decision of the former Trade and Industry Minister to withdraw from the presidential race of the NPP three weeks ago.

While announcing his decision to withdraw from the race on September 5 after the super delegates’ conference in which he shockingly emerged third, he cited electoral irregularities, unfair treatment and bias during the super delegates’ conference.

According to him, he feared the issues he outlined would repeat themselves in the final November 4 primary if he stayed in the race.

At the time of announcing the withdrawal, he indicated that in due course, he ‘would provide an indication of the role that he will play in politics in Ghana, after consultations with his family and other well-wishers, various stakeholders and interest groups.’

While accepting his withdrawal, the NPP disagreed with the claim that the election had been tilted in favour of any candidate.

Nonetheless, the party said it was already investigating pockets of incidents recorded during the super delegates’ conference, some of which Mr Kyerematen referenced in his statement – particularly how his coordinator in the North East Region was allegedly assaulted and injured during voting.

Mr Kyeremanten’s performance in the first exercise to select only five candidates for the main election in November was a surprise to many since he was considered the main contender to the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
