In an interview on Neat FM, Kennedy Agyapong explained that Alan Kyeremanten ‘lost’ because he chose to be silent from politics for a significant number of years. He added that Alan Kyeremanten stopped to speak as far back in former president Kufour era. For this, the younger generation currently doesn’t know him much since he didn’t show up to do active politics.

“He (Alan) and I were engaging in a fair campaign, but the others were on the other side and using money to intimidate people.
“They were going to win because of their intimidation tactics, wealth, and power, but Alan and I were going to win because of our popularity among the general public.
“Alan has been a part of the system for a while, but there came a point where it appeared he stayed quiet and was silent. The majority of the children who were young at the time are now adults who are able to vote, so if you think back to when Kufour was in power when someone was 10 years old, they are now 25 years old and don’t know about Alan at the time,” he said

Kennedy Agyapong went ahead and revealed that one of the set backs in Alan Kyeremanten’s career is when Alan chose not to become a member of Parliament. Kennedy Agyapong believes that being a member of Parliament always keep you in active politics.
“Many of them don’t know Alan because he withdrew from society and went quiet over the years, but I have consistently served in Parliament, and I believe that honourable Alan made the mistake of not being forced to become a Member of Parliament. For me, my consistency on radio and television in good and bad times has made me well known,” he added.
