Vim Lady explained that Alan's departure stems from being mistreated by certain factions within the NPP.

Following Alan Kyerematen's placement as the third most favored candidate in the NPP's Super Delegates Conference on August 26, 2023, he opted to initiate his own non-political group. His announced plan is to run as an independent candidate in the upcoming 2024 elections.

Regarding the likelihood of his success in the elections, Vim Lady expressed her view that Alan Kyerematen's agenda appears divisive. She went on to allege that his motives may extend beyond merely winning the 2024 presidency and could involve hidden intentions.

“Alan’s intention really is not to win the elections. He is pissing in. He feels like he’s not been treated right. The establishment has ganged up against him and they bullied him out of the race. He wanted to punish them, because in 2007, he kind of let Nana Addo have the day, even though at the time, he was the establishment candidate,” she said.

Afia Pokua suggests that the ex-trade minister harmed his own position by failing to consistently connect with the grassroots during his time in the government.

“I kind of blame Alan’s team for letting him down throughout the campaign. He also allowed his team to let him down. When he became trade minister, he laid back. He abandoned the grass root work that he needed to do. I think that he gave that job to his people and his team let him down.

“Because during that same period, Kennedy Agyapong and Bawumia were all over the Zongo communities engaged in charity works. Hardly would you find records that show Alan in Zongos, churches or engaged in other benevolent acts,” she added.
