Alan Kyerematen’s resignation is a curse to him- Chairman Wontumi
The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, affectionately called Chairman Wontumi believes that Alan Kyerematen’s resignation is a curse to him.
According to Chairman Wontumi, the NPP has helped Mr. Kyerematen by giving him appointments in the past and presently.
He said all of these have impacted him positively and made him who he is today.
According to the Chairman, for him to turn his back on the party in this crucial time when the party has an election ahead, is a curse to him.
He said, Mr.Kyerematen’s breakaway and formation of a movement will amount to nothing, even though the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will rejoice over it.
He said the party will remain resolute for victory in the upcoming elections.
Mr.Alan Kyerematen announced his resignation from the NPP on Monday during a ceremony to reveal his political future.
