Founder and flagbearer of the Movement for Change, Alan Kyerematen, has openly criticized former President John Agyekum Kufuor for endorsing Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party\u2019s (NPP) flagbearer, ahead of the 2024 general elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a recent interview on Sunday, November 17, Kufuor praised Dr. Bawumia, calling him the most suitable candidate to lead Ghana. The former president urged Ghanaians to support Bawumia, citing his economic expertise and track record as key attributes that could bolster the nation\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cConsidering the present global context, I genuinely believe Ghana\u2019s economy would witness substantial growth if Bawumia were elected as President,\u201d Kufuor said. \u201cWith divine guidance, he is more than capable of fulfilling this promise, and I urge you to back his candidacy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kufuor also highlighted Bawumia\u2019s contributions during his presidency as part of the Bank of Ghana team under Governor Dr. Paul Acquah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have observed his remarkable economic skills, which played a critical role in stabilizing our national currency during my tenure,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking on Oyerepa TV on Monday, November 18, Alan Kyerematen expressed disappointment in Kufuor\u2019s endorsement, arguing that it compromises the neutrality expected from a statesman of his stature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKufuor is my uncle, and I hesitate to publicly criticize him,\u201d Kyerematen began. \u201cHowever, his endorsement has cast a significant shadow over his political career. His comments have sparked negative reactions and widespread criticism.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kyerematen warned that Kufuor\u2019s involvement in active partisan politics could erode the respect and reverence he commands across Ghana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPresident Kufuor has long been a respected figure in Ghana. Why would he choose to engage in partisan politics in this manner? His actions are regrettable, and he is venturing into dangerous territory,\u201d Kyerematen stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite their familial ties, Kyerematen did not hold back, noting that Kufuor\u2019s endorsement had already provoked backlash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe knows exactly what he is doing, but I believe this is a mistake that could tarnish his long-standing legacy,\u201d Kyerematen remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since breaking away from the NPP to form the Movement for Change, Kyerematen has positioned himself as a third-force alternative to the NPP and the National Democratic Congress (NDC). In light of Kufuor\u2019s comments, he reiterated his commitment to presenting a fresh vision for Ghana that transcends partisan politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the political landscape intensifies ahead of the 2024 elections, Kyerematen\u2019s critique underscores deep divisions within Ghana\u2019s political elite, further setting the stage for a heated contest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
