If Alan Leaves NPP, All The MPs Who Supported Him Will Not Follow Him - Mpraeso MP
"I really do not think that Mr. Kyerematen will want to form his party or would want to go independent. And I’m not too sure he’s going to disappoint the teeming supporters of his campaign. If he leaves NPP, he will not get any support, and all the MPs who supported him will not follow him. The MP went on to express his belief that Kyerematen could continue to play a crucial role within the NPP by collaborating with other factions within the party. For me, the decision to go independent, or forming his own party…I don’t think he’s going to do that,” Opoku concluded.

How Conflict In Bawku Could Generate Into Something Worse Than A Coup In Ghana - Security Expert Explains
A leading security expert in the country, Dr. Vladimir Antwi-Danso, has explained that there are other things that are of great worry to him than the possibilities of Ghana encountering a military coup. Dr. Antwi-Danso, who is the Dean of the Ghana Armed Forces Command and Staff College (GAFCSC), added that this notwithstanding, Ghana should be wary of other internal security threats like ungoverned areas. These are some of the things that are saving Ghana and making Ghana safe from coups. Bawku and other areas where there are feuds, I fear that as insecurity on the state, rather than coups,” he explained. This, he added, would not augur well for Ghana and should be carefully looked at since it can be worse than a coup d’état.
