A supporter of Alan Kyerematen's movement for change has voiced strong support for Hopeson Adorye, a prominent member of the party.

The unnamed sympathizer condemned the charges against Adorye, arguing that they are an affront to Ghana's democratic principles of free speech.

She described Adorye's detainment as a targeted political maneuver due to his recent shift in allegiance from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to backing Alan Kyerematen.

"Hopeson has been detained by the Ghana Police Service not for his statement but because he supports Alan," she stated.

Hopeson Adorye was picked up after he spoke on Accra FM on May 10, where he confessed to being part of a plot that detonated dynamite in the Volta Region to scare voters in the stronghold of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to favour the NPP.

“Prior to the elections, we blasted dynamite in parts of the Volta Region, and that scared a number of people. When I finished casting my ballot in Tema, I drove to the Volta Region, and when I asked for the number of people who had voted and the expected number of voters, it turned out people did not come out to vote.”
