Former National Security Minister and a leading member of the campaign team for NPP flagbearer hopeful, Alan K Kyerematen, has threatened to expose the person who masterminded his dismissal from office if provoked.

Speaking after the results of the Super Delegates Conference was declared, Mr Hopeful Adorye stated that he was fully aware of persons who orchestrated his removal from office.

He also alleged that some persons voted in favor of a particular candidate because they wanted to secure their positions in government.

“They are only protecting their jobs. Use me as an example. I was sacked barely a week after my open declaration for Alan Kyerematen. So, I know what I’m saying. And the person who engineered it, I will mention his name if I am dared. But I will do so at the appropriate time,” he said.

Mr Adorye was dismissed from office in November 2022. Confirming the incident, Hopeson Adorye said he has so far received his termination letter.

“Yes, my appointment has been terminated as a national security member. No reason was stated for my termination.”

He noted that some people are behind the termination of his appointment and strongly believed it was due to his affiliation with former Traders Minister, Alan K Kyrematen.

“This has strengthened me the most, I will work hard for Alan Kyeremanteng to win the NPP Presidential primaries.”

The New Patriotic Party held its Super Delegates Conference on Saturday, August 28, 2023, across the country.

After the elections Dr Mahamudu Bawumia emerged the candidate with the highest votes winning over 60%.

He amassed 629 total votes at the end of the election, representing 68.15% of the votes.

Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong came in second with 132 votes, or 14.30% while former Trade Minister Alan Kyerematen placed third with 95 votes, or 10.29%.

The result is an indication that Mr Kyeremanten together with five other candidates qualified to the next round, however, his camp has been accusing some people of vote buying.

One of such persons is the Chief of Staff Akosua Frema Osei-Opare, whom Mr Adorye has accused of offering delegates money at the just ended Super Delegates Conference.

He noted that the Chief of Staff was trying to please and work in favour of a particular candidate since she has aspirations of becoming a Vice President under the leadership of that candidate.

“I am saying that people who have been in the government for these years, they are even old ladies, they still want to continue, so, do you think she is going to vote in a certain direction,” he quizzed when asked about Alan’s performance in the polls.

“An old lady wants to be a Vice President, how much more the young ones?” he asked.

When pushed about who this old lady was, he referenced the chief of staff citing an electoral malpractice allegation.

“Chief of Staff was here giving money to people, are we afraid? What I fear I don’t talk about,” he added.

His comments have triggered a reaction from Leadership of the party, who have referred him, in addition to other candidates to the disciplinary committee.
