A private legal practitioner, Martin Kpebu, has declared his intention not to vote for any candidate affiliated with either the National Democratic Congress (NDC) or the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2024 presidential elections.
Instead, he has urged the Trades Union Congress (TUC) to resurrect the political party it had in the 1970s to participate in modern elections.
Mr Kpebu expressed this sentiment while discussing the resignation of former Trade Minister Alan Kyerematen from the NPP to run as an independent candidate.
He cited his dissatisfaction with Alan Kyerematen's association with the NPP and his involvement in the economic challenges created during his seven years of service in the government as reasons for not supporting him.
He stated, “I don’t support Alan, he is too much of NPP and he will come and do the same thing, he is part of the problem, Alan can’t appeal to me,” he said.
Mr Kpebu emphasized the desire for an alternative to the NPP and NDC regimes, calling on the TUC to reestablish its political party from the 1970s.
Mr Kyerematen, who had previously resigned from the NPP in 2007 but later returned, announced his resignation from the party on September 25.
He cited the mistreatment of his supporters and alleged bias in the party's internal elections as reasons for his departure.
Mr Kyerematen expressed his desire to run as an independent presidential candidate in the 2024 elections to directly present his vision to the Ghanaian people.
He explained,“ersons associated with me are treated with disdain and outright outcast,” Mr Kyerematen who placed third in the super delegates conference of the NPP held on August 26 said.
Mr Kyerematen's decision to run as an independent candidate followed his third-place finish in the NPP's super delegates conference held on August 26.
