In a highly engaging discussion on X, hosted by social media influencer KALYJAY and attracting over 16,000 participants, Mr. Alan Kyerematen, the presidential candidate of the rapidly growing Afrafranto Alliance, issued a strong response to recent remarks made by Hon. Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu.
Mr. Kyerematen categorically rejected the claim that he bears responsibility for the economic challenges under the Nana Addo-Bawumia administration, a claim aimed at insulating Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia from growing criticism.

Kyei Mensah Bonsu had attempted to shift the blame for the nation’s economic struggles by suggesting that the Cabinet Economic subcommittee, chaired by Mr. Kyerematen, held more influence than Dr. Bawumia’s Economic Management Team (EMT).
In a scathing rebuttal, Alan Kyerematen dismissed these assertions as a desperate attempt to distort the truth, explaining that Cabinet subcommittees, including the Economic Committee, wield no power relative to decision-making.
He further clarified that Cabinet subcommittees merely prepare proposals for the full Cabinet, where decisions are made collectively.due to internal party politics, the responsibility was instead given to Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu.
This incident further undermines the narrative that Mr. Kyerematen held significant sway in the economic management of the Nana Addo-Bawumia administration.
The forthrightness of Alan Kyerematen’s responses during the discussion left many of the youth participants questioning the NPP’s decision to elevate Dr. Bawumia, who has clearly failed in his economic management role, over a brilliant and accomplished leader like Mr. Kyerematen, who has demonstrated a proven track record of success.
This growing sentiment among the youth could have significant implications for the upcoming elections, as the youth gravitate towards Mr. Kyerematen’s youth-centred policy prescriptions on youth development and job creation.
