In response to Alan Kyerematen’s withdrawal from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer competition, private attorney Mr. Kofi Bentil said, “If you win, be gracious; if you don’t win, be gracious.”
In a Facebook post, the vice president of Imani Africa said, “When the time comes to bow out, do it gracefully and with the dignity you have. May your activities enhance your reputation going forward and preserve your legacy.
Mr. Kyerematen has withdrew from the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential election.
On Tuesday, September 5, he released a statement announcing his resignation.
In the super delegates meeting that was held on August 26th, Mr. Kyerematen came in third.
When announcing his decision to withdraw from the November 4 general election, he said, “The level of intimidation of varying intensity, unleashed on a significant number of Delegates at various Voting Centres across the sixteen regions, is unprecedented in the history of our Party.
Additionally, the fact that my polling agent in the North East region suffered severe eye damage as a result of his brave and daring attempt to ensure adherence to the election’s rules and regulations as approved by the Presidential Elections Committee will always be remembered as a dark chapter in the Party’s history of internal elections. This episode and many violent and conspiratorial acts that have been reported in other voting centres are revolting, nasty, and terrible. I will always fight for the interests of those who work for me and with me because I care about their safety.
