A political science lecturer at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Dr. Kwasi Amakye-Boateng, has said he was taken aback by Alan Kyerematen’s sudden resignation.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme, Monday, he said he never anticipated it.
But Dr. Amakye-Boateng was skeptical about Mr. Kyerematen’s chances as an independent candidate in the 2024 elections.
This notwithstanding, he stated that, Alan’s breakaway could divide the Ashanti region – stronghold of the ruling party and ultimately affect its chances in the 2024 elections.
On Alan’s ability to be a third force in Ghana’s political landscape, Mr. Amakye-Boateng was uncertain if he could fit that role.
He noted that, Mr. Kyerematen would need to do a lot of advocacy especially in the Ashanti region to win more votes.
