Majority Chief Whip in parliament, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has descended heavily on the leader of The Movement for Change, John Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen for his recent comments that Ghanaians should elect a Christian president during the upcoming 2024 general elections because majority of the populace are Christians.
Addressing congregants during a convention of the Church of Pentecost on Easter Sunday at the Dr Thomas Wyatt Assembly, Mr Kyerematen who is seeking to become president of the republic as independent candidate stated that it was a responsibility for Ghanaians who are predominantly Christians to choose a Christian leader who was also Christlike adding that he was the best person to lead the country’s socioeconomic transformation.
“As a predominantly Christian nation, as Christians, it is our responsibility that we elect a Christian leader who is also a Christlike leader,” the former ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) Minister of Trade and Industry said.
“If God touches your heart and you vote for Alan Kyrematen, the transformative leader, then I can assure you, as our Lord Jesus did on the cross, promise that ye shall be in paradise with him; you shall also be in paradise when I come into power,” he added.
Reacting the comments by Mr Kyerematen in a social media post, the Nsawam-Adoagyiri lawmaker described the submission as highly inappropriate and detrimental to Ghana’s development.
“This is backwards, terrible and ugly, to say the least. The NPP has truly ‘suffered’ in bearing and tolerating you over the years. Show me one country globally who has succeeded by using your theory. Alan is clearly not relevant in our ‘modern’ body politics! Bow in shame!” the post said.
