The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has accepted Alan Kyerematen's decision to withdraw from the party's presidential primaries.
The General Secretary of the party, Justin Kodua Frimpong, in a press statement issued on Wednesday, September 6, said the issues Mr Kyerematen raised in his resignation letter will be investigated thoroughly and adequate sanctions meted out to anyone found culpable.
"We wish to reassure all stakeholders and the general public that the reports of the aforementioned committee will be made readily available and persons who may be found culpable of any wrongdoing will be held accountable."
Alan Kyerematen on Tuesday evening announced his withdrawal from the NPP’s flagbearer race citing several reasons.
He mentioned intimidation, and violence against a member of his campaign team and claimed that the party strategically organised the super delegates conference to favour one candidate over the others as some of the reasons for his decision.

Mr Kyerematen stated that pronouncements made by some leading members of the party before and after the elections lend weight to his observations.
“After having carefully analysed the results of the said elections, it is absolutely clear to me from events leading to, during and after the elections, that the Special Delegates Conference was strategically and tactically skewed in favour of one particular aspirant.”
“The level of intimidation of varying intensity, directly and indirectly, unleashed on a significant number of Delegates at various Voting Centers across the sixteen regions, is unprecedented in the history of our Party,” parts of the statement read.
Meanwhile, following his decision, a political scientist, Professor Ransford Gyampo has asked the party to urgently address the issues raised to ensure it does not affect the party's unity.
“I warned that if things aren’t done fairly, there could be a breakup. I also warned about the public comments of those expected to be seen as neutral arbiters. There will be more pull-outs. This isn’t the NPP BJ da Rocha and others led.”
