Member of Parliament representing Suame Constituency, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, has issued a plea to Alan Kyerematen, urging him to reconsider his resignation from the party and his intention to run as an independent candidate in the 2024 elections.

Mr Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu believes that the concerns expressed by Alan Kyerematen can be addressed within the party. He has called for transparent and constructive discussions to be conducted with the aim of exploring the possibility of Kyerematen rejoining the NPP.

"I was surprised because during the superdelegates' elections, he withdrew from the race. I engaged in discussions with some of the party leaders to address the issues raised by Alan.

"Although I personally disagreed with some of his points, we decided to let the party investigate them. There was, therefore, an ongoing investigation into the concerns he had raised when, all of a sudden, he declared his resignation from the party,” he said.

During an interview on Okay FM on September 29, 2023, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu revealed that he had been in discussions with party leaders to initiate a dialogue with Kyerematen and work towards resolving the concerns he had raised.

He said, "I firmly believe that it is still possible to engage with Alan and convince him to return.

"As the elders say, 'It is only a mad man who cannot change his mind.' Perhaps certain interpersonal issues contributed to his decision to resign.

"It's important to recognize that decisions made by human beings are not eternally sacrosanct; people can change their minds. The party should continue communicating with him. Therefore, I am of the opinion that we should not cease our discussions with him,” he said.

Alan Kyerematen's choice to run as an independent candidate was made public on September 25 when he formally departed from the NPP.

This decision followed his withdrawal from the NPP's flagbearer contest due to difficulties faced during the Super Delegates Conference held within the party in August 2023.
