The National communications director of the National Democratic Party(NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, has empathized with Alan Kyeremanten following his resignation from the New Patriotic Party.
In a social media post sighted by Ghanaeducation.org, Sammy Gyamfi stated that the NPP has not treated Alan Kyeremanten with fairness. He added that the government, under the leadership of Nana Addo has never been democratic.
According to Sammy Gyamfi, there is no way Alan Kyeremanten would have resigned from the NPP if the reasons to do so weren’t imminent.
Having said that, Sammy Gyamfi added that the NPP under the leadership of Alan Kyeremanten is the same as Dr. Bawumia and President Akufo Addo. He believes that Alan Kyeremanten is not an alternative to a failed government.

BELOW IS SAMMY GYAMFI’S FULL STATEMENT
“1. It is an indisputable fact, that Alan Kwadwo Kyeremanteng has not been treated fairly by his party, the NPP.
“2. The NPP under the leadership of President Akufo-Addo has never been truly democratic.
“There is no way Alan could have gotten a modicum of fairness or justice in the ongoing presidential primaries of the NPP under the leadership of the despotic tyrant, Akufo-Addo who is hellbent on installing his puppet as his successor and continues to oppress persons who disagree with him. Former NPP National Chairman, Paul Afoko and former General Secretary, Kwabena Agyepong come to mind readily.

“3. I understand Alan’s pain and do empathize with him. He and his supporters have continuously been victims of intimidation, unprovoked harassment and violence. His resignation from the NPP is therefore understandable.
“4.The basis of his resignation from the NPP is the more reason why no democratic or peace-loving Ghanaian must join or vote for the NPP.
“5.However, the point has to be made forcefully, that Alan is not a viable alternative to the failed incumbent NPP government.
“As a Cabinet Minister responsible for Trade and Industry and a member of the Economic Management team from 2017-2023, Alan Kwadwo Kyeremanteng actively participated in the destruction of the economy into the mess it is today.
“Under his watch, the Komenda Sugar Factory was abandoned to rot for almost six (6) years. Growth of the manufacturing sector declined significantly and businesses were suffocated by the bad policies of his Ministry and government leading to several job losses.
“5. Would Alan have resigned from the NPP if he had been treated fairly by the NPP in their ongoing Presidential primaries?
“Clearly, it is the pain of rejection by the super delegates of the NPP and the intimidation and harassment of his supporters which is fueling Alan’s latest decision and not any superior passion to help heal the partisan divisions in the country. But it is too late for Alan to jump ship now.” he wrote.
