Kwame Owusu Danso, the running mate for the Movement for Change in the 2024 election, has made a startling assertion that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will remain under a curse until the party honors its promise to Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen.
According to Mr. Danso, the NPP’s defeat in the 2024 general elections was a direct consequence of former President Akufo-Addo’s decision to choose Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia over Alan Kyerematen as the party’s flagbearer.
“The NPP did not just lose the 2024 election; the party was cursed by the actions of Nana Addo failing to honor his promises to Alan,” Mr. Danso stated in an interview with Nhyira FM.
He further revealed that former President Akufo-Addo had made a promise to Alan Kyerematen to hand over the flagbearer position to him after his tenure as President. However, this promise was not kept, leading to Alan’s departure from the party.
Mr. Danso described the situation as “painful” and emphasized that the NPP’s failure to honor its promise to Alan Kyerematen has had severe consequences for the party.
He also urged Ghanaians to exercise patience as the new government works to restore the economy, which he claimed has been damaged over the past eight years.
“The economy has been destroyed for eight years, and a building that has been collapsed for eight years cannot be rebuilt in a few months. I urge all Ghanaians to have patience,” Mr. Danso advised.
