Alan rescinds decision

the runner-up in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flag-bearer race last December, Mr Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen, has rescinded his decision to resign from the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
This follows an appeal from the party to Mr Kyerematen to rescind his decision to resign from the party with effect from April 17, this year.
In a statement issued in Accra last night and signed by the National Chairman of the NPP, Mr Peter Mac Manu, the party said it had welcomed Mr Kyerematen’s latest decision and has put in place the neccesary processes to resolve Mr Kyerematen’s concerns.
Consequently, it said a six-member committee, under the chairmanship of Mr Samuel Odoi-Sykes with Mr Kwadwo Mpiani, Chief of Staff and Minister of Presidential Affairs as Secretary, has been set up to look into the concerns.
Other members of the committee are Mr Akenten Appiah-Menka, Mrs Cecilia Bannerman, Madam Ama Busia, and C. K. Tedam, all elders of the party.
The statement reminded all members of the party to keep “firmly at the back of their minds that unity, stability, and harmony are essential elements for winning elections”.
“I appeal to all members and supporters of the party to focus on the important task of working hard for a resounding victory in the December presidential and parliamentary elections,” the statement added.
It recalled that over the past week, the chairman and elders of the NPP on the advice of President John Agyekum Kufuor and the party’s flag bearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, had been engaged in a series of consultations to deliberate over issues arising out of the resignation of Mr Kyerematen.
It said that following this consultations, the national chairman of the NPP responded to the letter of resignation of Mr Kyerematen after which Mr Kyerematen rescinded his resignation.
In his letter rescinding his resignation, Mr Kyerematen wrote, “Following your appeal to me to consider my decision to resign from the party, and with the personal assurances you have given in your letter to address, in a timely manner, the concerns I have raised on various matters and also in consideration of the passionate appeal from His Excellency the President, the flag bearer, the elders as well as the rank and file of the party, I write to rescind my earlier decision to resign my membership of the NPP.”
The letter added that, “I hope this decision will contribute to the further strengthening of the party.”
It would be recalled that on April 17, Mr Kyerematen resigned from the party, citing harassment of his some of his supporters and last week Thursday, he reaffirmed his decision to resign from the party.
This culminated in the in the intervention of the President and the party leadership to get the matter resolved.
