Ghanaweb mo abon paaaa. Learn to do proper research. The descendants of Queen Ameyaa are those of Patasi and especially Alan Kyeremateng’s father’s lineage….

Yaa Asantewaa was no warrior. Name one war she fought in and won ?

No, this kyerematen was from Asante akyem Bompata. Alan's grand father was EK kyerematen who also a lawyer. His great grand father was Nana Kwabena Atta, who was Bompatahene.

@ P Djamgbe:
IT’S NOT TOO LATE! ALAN SHOULD CALL OFF HIS CAMPAIGN AND JOIN BAWUMIA OR RISKS LOSING HIS SPOT IN HISTORY. HE WILL NEVER EVER RECLAIM THE RESPECT HE COMMANDED IN THE NPP AND THE ASHANTI REGION IF HE INSISTS ON TAKING THIS VERY TRAJECTORY!

When he goes to the Central Region, he claims he is Fante because of his mother’s heritage and when he comes to Kumasi he claims he is an Ashanti because of his father. I understand his strategy but truthful speaking, his message and politicking doesn’t resonate with Ashantis. He just wants to screw the NPP and the Bawumia campaign up? And that’s very bad for a person of his standing.

He should’ve accepted to be Bawumia Vice Presidential candidate and stayed away from that campaign of calumny against Bawumia’s candidacy. He miscalculated the situation or someone must’ve given him a wrong advice. The same thing happened between President Biden and former President Barrack Obama.

At the time Obama launched his campaign the only person who stood the chances of challenging Obama was the then Senator from Delaware Joe Biden. But due to the fact that Biden was a very experienced in the American politics he took into consideration, among others things, the effects of the Black Voters who have been voting for the Democrats for many years. Due to that reason he realized that should Obama who was also young and shrewd ( just like Bawumia ) a Harvard trained lawyer with a very squeaky clean record be denied the opportunity to get a nod of the Democratic Party, they risked alienating the Black voters who are considered a very dynamic group of democratic voters.

As a result Joe Biden was very soft on Obama and refused to vigorously criticize him during that year’s Democratic presidential primaries . Even at the time Joe Biden was also in his sixties just like Allan Kyerematten, but he didn’t made his age a factor that he can’t contest again in case Obama wins and served his 8 years term.

That’s one of the reasons Obama rewarded Joe Biden and chose him as his running mate. And we all know why Biden became the US president at a very old age. So I believe Alan was very selfish for allowing himself to be used as an impediment against Bawumia and NPP 2024 bids.

Biggest comedy show in town. No wonder Yaa Asantewaa angrily fought for the family. If the men in the family were like Alan Cash then the women are better. Alan is a baby girl. Any man worth his salt will not contest, lose all the time and run to the kitchen and cry like a little girl. Cry baby Alan Kyerematen is not fit to lead. In your own party, even with the able support of President Kufuor you failed to win the contest to lead the NPP. IT SIMPLY MEANS YOU ARE NOT POPULAR, LIKED OR SEEN AS A FIT PERSON TO LEAD. STOP CRYING LIKE A KINDERGARTEN SCHOOL CHILD AND FIND ANOTHER JOB. SHAME ON YOU. GYAE GYIMIE NO WATI.

We know Alan from his early days in Kumasi . Later in Adisco, of course was always ambitious and was called Chief. Fact is some of us come from 7 Royal families yet don't make noise about it. Yes, he is competent and would certainly have been a better President than Bawumia abd Mahama. I know he's as disrespectful as Napo but not an idiot . Napo is a FOOL and a deviant. Alan would be better for Ghana.

Unfortunately, this NPP has done more Harms than Good in Ghana by the Choices of Leaders imposed on the citizens. This Alan Kyerematen guy should have been the one to be the Flag bearer instead of President Akufo Addo. When you compare the activities in public life between the two. Fortunately , Akufo Addo has the family name to prop up his political ambitions. For my money Mr. Alan Kyerematen could have done a better presidential job than what we are seeing currently.

Alan stand well prepared to help the policy redirection to develop this country.The 2024 election is for mahatma not because of any special qualities- it is
1. to compensate him for the malicious and unfounded attacks and false allegations to crucify him. God is compensating him to prosecute Akuffu Addo criminal deeds.

2. 2028 is for Alan- Alan must strategise very well for 2028 with all his constituency MPs well trained and groomed to his vision.
NPP- foundations would be shaken after the 2024 defeat .

The only person who can move Ghana forward in this Digital Age is Dr Brilliant Bawumia leading the country and not picked up by someone because of his tribe. People with military backgrounds force themselves on us. Politics deceived. Communication experts took Dead chance on us. We have been going back for years. Let's the person with new IDEAS.

Egomaniac Alan. What did he achieve as Ghana's Ambassador to the US? How about his time as a minister under President Kuffuor? Kuffuor gave this cry-baby everything he asked for. In
fact, the government at one point nearly succeeded in helping him to become the head of the WTO. What did Ghanaians benefit from all these?
I will vote for him if he will be bold enough to take credit for the "Pay to meet the President scam" that occurred at the Ministry of Trade under his watch.

Akan’s are mostly matrilineal. They inherited from their mothers’ sides of the family. Alan’s mother is a Fanti,from Saltpond, and therefore he obtains inheritance from his mother’s side of his family. His father was an Asante indigene. How then does Alan become a “ royal” from an Asante enclave? He is not a direct descendant of the legendary Nana Yaa Asantewaa of Ejisu.
