If NPP wants NDC votes, why reject your own? - Akomea pushes for Alan's return
Nana Akomea, Head of the NPP Communications Committee, has made a case for the party to reconcile with estranged members, including former Trade Minister Alan Kyerematen. He argues that the NPP cannot seek support outside its base while rejecting its own.
Speaking on PM Express on Tuesday, Mr. Akomea said he would advise former Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia to reach out to Mr. Kyerematen if consulted, stating, "It should be on the cards if I'm one of his advisers; if he asks me, I will say yes." He described former party members as the NPP's "natural constituencies" and suggested the party should prioritise rebuilding those relationships. He believes many who left the party did so because of misunderstandings and emotional hurt, situations he believes can be resolved over time.
Asked directly whether the time was right to bring Alan Kyerematen back into the fold, Mr. Akomea answered in the affirmative, saying, "That is one of the deals, especially for Alan specifically, and everyone else." Mr. Akomea clarified that the issue had not been discussed with Dr. Bawumia personally, but maintained that if the former Vice-President sought his advice, he would support efforts at reconciliation.
