VIDEO: ‘He Is Venturing Into Dangerous Territory’ – Alan Attacks Former President Kufuor Over Bawumia Endorsement

Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, the presidential candidate for the Movement for Change, has strongly criticized former President John Agyekum Kufuor’s endorsement of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer in the upcoming 2024 general elections.

Alan mince no words when he descended heavily on the former Ghanaian leader who asked Ghanaians to vote for Dr. Bawumia.

This followed former President Kufuor’s interview with selected journalists on Sunday, November 17, when he appealed to Ghanaians to support Dr. Bawumia in the December polls, portraying him as the ideal candidate to lead the nation.

“Given the current global circumstances, I firmly believe that Ghana’s economy will experience significant improvement if Bawumia is elected as President. With divine guidance, he is capable of delivering on this promise, and I encourage you to support his candidacy.”

But in a strong reply, Alan Kyerematen criticized Kufuor’s endorsement during an appearance on Oyerepa TV on Monday, November 18, 2024, contending that it undermines the neutrality expected of a statesman.

Kyerematen expressed concern that Kufuor’s backing has not only damaged his reputation but has also elicited widespread criticism and insults.

Speaking on Oyerepa TV on Monday, 18 November, Mr Kyerematen suggested that Kufuor’s actions could tarnish his long-standing political legacy.

“Kufuor is my uncle, and I hesitate to publicly criticise him,” Kyerematen said. “However, his endorsement has cast a significant shadow over his political career. Have you noticed how his comments have sparked negative reactions and criticism from the public?”

Kyerematen went on to express his concerns over Kufuor’s involvement in active politics at this stage, warning that it could erode the respect he commands across the country.

“He has long been a respected figure in Ghana, so why would he choose to involve himself in partisan politics in this manner? His actions are regrettable, and he is venturing into dangerous territory,” he added.

Despite his familial connection to Kufuor, Kyerematen did not shy away from pointing out that the endorsement has already provoked a backlash.

He urged the former president to reconsider his stance, indicating that Kufuor “knows exactly what he is doing.”

Having split from the NPP to lead his newly-formed Movement for Change, Kyerematen has presented himself as a viable alternative to both the NPP and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the upcoming elections.

The former NPP member who launched the Movement for Change as an alternative to both the NPP and National Democratic Congress (NDC), highlighted the growing tensions within the political arena as the 2024 elections approach.
