Alan Kyerematen’s presidential journey is not a path anyone in the NPP should emulate.
Kennedy Agyapong copied it – and we all saw the outcome.
Alan Kyerematen was handed 32.30% by delegates at the University of Ghana in 2007. That number became his veto power. He weaponised it. He blackmailed the party. He sabotaged our chances in 2008. It was that bad. Always that bad. Alan never surround himself with people of free mind; he always recruits bitter men. Corrosive and strategically empty.
He complained endlessly. He whined constantly. That was his style – until political extinction.
Kennedy Agyapong followed the same line, upgraded.
In 2023, he gathered 37%. He treated it like a share certificate. He did the maths – bad maths. He added ethnic and religious poison. He embraced a strange, hallucinatory logic of inevitability. And he saw a victory that never existed.
Yesterday – Saturday, January 31, 2026 – answered him clearly.
It said: shut up.
You are too loud.
Too divisive.
Too proud.
Too disrespectful.
This is the end of the road.
Two strong personalities. Two different styles. Same destination. Same political graveyard.
Kennedy must now be wise enough to stop listening to the greedy idiots who urged him on while destroying himself. It cannot be said that the abrasive campaign, the toxic rhetoric, and the ethnocentric attacks were accidental. They were encouraged – by people who knew better and didn’t care.
Kennedy does not need all the friends he threw into the sea. Some are indispensable.
He can work to regain a few – for dignity, for peace, for a decent social life, and a happy retirement.
This is the lesson from the political cemetery.
