Solomon Owusu, a leading member of the Movement For Change (MFC), has issued a sharp warning to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and its affiliate, Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, over what he described as deliberate efforts to associate Alan Kyerematen with the NPP’s future plans.
Kofi Ofosu Nkansah’s Post Sparks Political Tension
The controversy began after a social media post on April 11, where Kofi Ofosu Nkansah — former CEO of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme — called for unity within the NPP and subtly suggested a welcome return for Alan Kyerematen ahead of the 2028 elections.
Nkansah’s post, widely interpreted as a political olive branch, was met with strong opposition from the MFC.
“Alan Is Not Returning to the NPP” – Solomon Owusu
In a swift rebuttal, Solomon Owusu accused the NPP of opportunism, stating that the same people now extending an invitation were the ones who vilified Alan Kyerematen after he left the party.
“Alan Kyerematen is very much happy with his political trajectory,” Owusu emphasized, rejecting any notion that the MFC leader intends to rejoin the NPP.
NPP Accused of Exploiting Kyerematen’s Legacy
Owusu also took the opportunity to remind Ghanaians of the internal struggles and declining support the NPP faced in the lead-up to the 2024 general elections.
“The party was already in a downward spiral. Alan only confirmed what the people were already feeling,” he noted.
He warned the NPP against leveraging Kyerematen’s legacy to regain political relevance.
“If their plan is to use Alan as a tool to revive their sinking party, they should prepare for a firm response from the Movement For Change,” Owusu cautioned.
Movement For Change Stands Its Ground
Owusu reiterated that Alan Kyerematen remains committed to the Movement For Change and its mission to offer a credible alternative to the political status quo in Ghana.
The statement signals that MFC will not tolerate any perceived attempts to co-opt its leader or dilute its message of change.
As the 2028 election cycle looms, this exchange highlights the rising tensions between old political structures and emerging movements seeking to redefine Ghana’s political future.
