Hopeson Adorye, the director of Special Duties of the Movement of Change, has boldly stated Alan Kyerematen will never go back to the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Hopeson Adorye was commenting on the NPP’s granting all suspended party members general amnesty.
According to the NPP, the move is aimed at promoting unity and reconciliation.
The amnesty was granted to all members suspended or who have pending disciplinary cases.
On August 16, 2025, in a statement signed by Mr. Danquah Smith Buttey, the Acting National Chairman read, “I bring you warm greetings from the national secretariat of the party.
I write to inform you that the National Council, at its Emergency Meeting held on Friday, July 25, 2025, resolved in the interest of unity and reconciliation to grant a General Amnesty to all Party members who have been suspended or whose disciplinary cases are currently pending before the appropriate adjudicatory bodies.
We hereby serve notice that this directive lifts all such suspensions and waives any ongoing proceedings against affected members”, the statement noted.
The NPP’s acting chairman’s statement continued, “Members who have forfeited their membership are required to submit a formal application to he national secretariat for reinstatement. Upon reinstatement, you shall remain ineligible to contest any internal party election until a mandatory two-year period has elapsed.
This measure reflects the Party’s unwavering commitment to fostering internal cohesion, strengthening solidarity, and preparing collectively for the political tasks ahead”.
The statement further added, “In view of this resolution, Party leadership at all levels is hereby strictly advised to refrain from any arbitrary suspension of members. All disciplinary matter must be handled solely in accordance with the procedures, principles, and due process provisions expressly enshrined in the Party’s constitution. The National Secretariat requests your full compliance with this directive.
We count on your continued cooperation”.
Alan Kyerematen, after the NPP’s primaries defeat, left to form the Movement for Change to contest the 2024 general election as an independent candidate.
Also, Solomon Owusu, a leading member of the Movement for Change, has stated he would be extremely surprised if Alan Kyeremanten even considers returning to the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He revealed that Alan Kyeremanten has not informed him of wanting to join the NPP again.
Speaking on TV3’s New Day, Solomon Owusu stated, “I will be extremely surprised if Alan goes back to the NPP. He was part of the individuals who were unjustly hunted out of the party in 2015 under the very influence of those now preaching reconciliation.
To now act as though unity matters is sad; it’s not genuine. I haven’t heard Alan speak to this. He hasn’t told me if he wants to return to the NPP, but I would be extremely surprised if he even considers it” He added.
In addition, Alan Kyerematen has given the strongest indication he will contest the presidential election in 2028.
“…Yes, definitely. That I can put out, that I will run again. The Almighty God has the final say; we always succumb to his will.
“But be that as it may, that is my interest and desire, because I believe the country will greatly benefit from my experience, exposure, my global network and my vision, particularly for Africa. So, I am not done yet,” Alan stated during an interview on PanaGenius TV.
Meanwhile, Paul Afoko, the former National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has said it is wrong of the party to extend an olive branch and then impose conditions.
The former NPP chairman added that if the party’s goal is to bring people back together, then the party cannot put hurdles in their way.
Speaking on Okay FM with host Kwame Nkrumah Tikese, Paul Afoko stated, “The olive branch extended by the NPP is a good thing,” he said, acknowledging the effort at reconciliation. “But it is wrong for the party to impose conditions on the amnesty. There should be no conditions or rules tied to the return of former members.”
“If you want to bring people back together for a common goal, then you cannot at the same time put hurdles in their way. That is not reconciliation,” he stressed.
Paul Afoko further urged the party to implement a more inclusive posture to restore true unity, rather than creating rules that, in his view, could reignite old divisions.
