The National Democratic Congress has sacked a constituency executive who declared support for the New Patriotic Party flagbearer hopeful Alan Kyerematen.

The sacked executive, Akua Afriyie, was the Women's Organiser in Kumawu in the Ashanti Region.

She reportedly declared her admiration for Kyerematen despite being a member of the opposition party.

According to her, she was sacked shortly after the video of her declaring support for Alan went viral during the Kumawu by-election in May 2023.

Afriyie had said though she was with the NDC, if the NPP selected Kyerematen as its flagbearer she would vote for him in the 2024 election.

She believes Kyerematen has a better vision for Ghana that will give youth hope.

She has since become the talk of town in political circles for which the NDC did not take kindly to her pronouncement.

Afriyie has said she is now a floating voter after being dismissed by the NDC.

“I am currently not a member of the NDC or a member of the NPP but l am a strong supporter of Mr. Kyerematen.”

She said she would not vote in the 2024 election if Kyerematen were not on the ballot.
