A Deputy Minister of Finance, Abena Osei-Asare has pledged her unwavering support for the cause of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP).
This comes hours after a founding member of the party, Alan Kyerematen announced his resignation from the NPP to contest as an independent presidential candidate.
Abena who also doubles as the Member of Parliament for Atiwa East was a well-known supporter of Alan Kyerematen’s bid to lead the NPP in the 2024 elections.
But following Alan’s decision to break ranks with the NPP, Abena Osei-Asare says she is not aligned with that decision.
In a press statement released on Monday, September 25, she distanced herself from Kyerematen’s move to run as an independent candidate.
“My commitment to the New Patriotic Party runs deep, rooted in our shared values and vision for a prosperous Ghana. The NPP’s strength has always been its unity and our ability to work together for the common good of our country.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 25, 2023
I find it necessary to address the recent decision of Hon Alan Kyerematen to leave the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and run as an independent candidate in 2024.
First and foremost, while I enjoy both a personal and professional relationship with Hon Alan Kyerematen, characterized by mutual respect and a shared commitment to our nation’s progress, I must respectfully distance myself from his recent choice.
My dedication to the New Patriotic Party is deep-seated, and rooted in our shared values and vision for a prosperous Ghana. The NPP’s strength has always been its unity and our ability to work together for the common good of our country.
Let us look forward to the future, keeping the best interests of our party and our beloved Ghana at heart.
With determination and unity, we can continue to work towards a brighter future for all Ghanaians.
