A former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and now a member of the Alan Kyerematen‘s campaign team, Nana Ohene Ntow, has dismissed claims suggesting that the Movement for Change founder preached divisiveness by urging Ghanaians to vote for a Christian leader in the upcoming general election.
According to him, Mr Kyerematen’s assertion that Christians should vote for a ‘Christian-like’ president in the forthcoming December 2024 election was merely political rhetoric and has nothing to do with religion.
Speaking on Upfront on JoyNews on Wednesday, April 3, Mr Ntow stated that it is hypocritical for anybody, especially political opponents whose candidate has been promoting Muslims voting for Muslims, to assert that because Mr Kyerematen said he is a Christian, they should vote for him.
“This talk, very obviously for anybody who will be honest, is political and has nothing to do with religion. If it has anything to do with religion, it is the advantage that both Bawumia and Alan and others see that they can take of the religious lobby that they are also getting closer, endearing themselves to that.”
“So if anybody turns around and says all these, basically insulting Alan, I see it as political manners,” he said.
