Member of Parliament (MP) for Tema West, Carlos Kingsley Ahenkorah, has advised the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to take decisive actions to bring back its former member, Alan Kyerematen if they aspire to secure victory in the 2024 presidential elections.

During a panel discussion on UTV on Monday, February 5, 2024, he passionately urged NPP members to consider reaching out to Alan and even suggested going to great lengths, including kneeling, to persuade him to rejoin the party.

Mr Ahenkorah expressed concern that if Alan Kyerematen, who is now the leader of the Movement for Change, proceeds with his plan to run as an independent candidate could significantly impact the party's votes in 2024, especially in its stronghold, the Ashanti Region.

“At this juncture, if we allow him to continue what he is doing, it would really affect the fortunes of the NPP. No one can tell me that if we should have the 2024 election, today, Mr Alan Kyerematen does not have footprints across the country to get a lot of votes.

“The man (Alan) is not an ordinary politician. He has been in politics since the beginning of the 4th Republic and has been active since then… at a point, he was the main contender for the flagbearership position. If I'm not mistaken, he has been in all the constituencies in Ghana more than 6 or 7 times," he said in Twi during a panel discussion on UTV on Monday, February 5, 2024.

The MP added, “It is better late than never… I’m pleading with you NPP members if we have to go on our knees to beg Alan let us do it”.

He emphasized the need for NPP leadership to humbly request Alan's return, emphasizing that the party cannot afford to let him continue independently, as it would adversely affect their chances in the upcoming election.

Mr Ahenkorah highlighted Alan Kyerematen's extensive political experience, spanning the entire Fourth Republic, and stressed his significant influence across the country.
