Former Interior Minister Kwamena Bartels has called Alan Kyerematen’s decision to quit the New Patriotic Party (NPP) his worst political choice.
Mr Bartels pushed the NPP leadership to “beautifully accept” Mr Kyerematen’s resignation and utterly expel him from the party in a candid interview with Citi News’ Hanson Agyemang.
“I felt sorry for him [Alan], he has taken the worst decision he can ever take in his political life. He is finished as a politician. This is the end for him as a politician,” Bartels said.
When asked if he thought Mr Kyerematen was treated unfairly, the former Ablekuma North MP said, “I won’t judge, but there are processes in the party for dealing with unfair treatment, and every human institution has these little skirmishes, and when they come, they are judged according to the laid down processes.”
Mr Bartels urged the NPP not to try to repair relations with the former Trade and Industry Minister because this is not the first time he has left the party.
“It has happened twice and we won’t allow it to happen thrice and if the party has my views, it should beautifully accept it,” he stated.
Mr Kyerematen resigned from the NPP on Monday, September 25, to run for president as an independent.
