Leader of the Movement for Change, Alan Kyerematen, has accused the former President John Agyekum Kufuor of working against his presidential ambitions.

Kufuor has endorsed Bawumia before, which wasn't an issue, Alan said, however, this time, Kufuor's comparison of Bawumia with other candidates, lauding the vice president as "better" or "the best" elevates him above other candidates suggesting it undermines his own efforts in the race.

Kyerematen emphasized his position as a key contender in the election, highlighting the significance of not overlooking John Dramani Mahama, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, as both he and Kufuor are respected former leaders of the nation.

He urged the former president to refrain from making public endorsements, cautioning that such actions could create division and negatively impact the political landscape.

Kufuor to refrain from public pronouncements concerning this upcoming election... - Alan Kyerematen (Flagbearer, Movement for Change) #GHOneNews #EIBNetwork #GHOneTV #NPP #NDC @starr1035fm #CAFShouldPaySpiky pic.twitter.com/BTPLGr4bcB— GHOne TV (@ghonetv) December 5, 2024

Speaking in an interview on Starr FM on December 5, 2024, he stated, “I will tell President Kufuor that after a distinguished career in politics, he should stay out of election pronouncements about the pending election.

“You may recall that this is not the first time that he is endorsing the vice president, and nobody had any difficulty with that. But when you go to the extent of making comparisons that he is better or the best, then it means that you are campaigning against the two of us.

“And the way I see it, if he was saying this also in respect of former President John Mahama, then it is very strange because I will find it difficult to understand how he will be able to convince the NDC that Bawumia is better than former President John Mahama.

“It would be strange for a former head of state to make a judgment against another former head of state. So if that were the case, then I take it that he is basically campaigning against me.”
