ALAN KYEREMANTENG RESIGNS AS TRADE MINISTER.
Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, Minister of Trade and Industry has submitted his resignation from the cabinet according to a source.
According to reports, Mr. Kyerematen submitted his resignation to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on January 5th. According to information from 3news.com, the President accepted the resignation letter.
Mr. Kyerematen has previously run for the position of New Patriotic Party (NPP) flag bearer, but Nana Akufo-Addo has won every time.
At the University of Ghana, Legon, where the infamous 17 candidates, including the vice president at the time, Alhaji Aliu Mahama, ran for office, he was forced to concede defeat to stop a third round of voting in 2007.
Since then, Mr. Kyerematen’s fortunes have declined as his vote share has decreased with each attempt, and he decided not to run when nominations were closed.
Minister of Trade and Industry Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen has submitted his resignation from the cabinet.
According to reports, Mr. Kyerematen submitted his resignation to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on January 5th.
The ruling party is expected to pick a new candidate for the 2024 elections, therefore it is expected that the former Ghanaian ambassador to the US will return to the race and start his campaign for the primaries later this year. President Akufo-Addo has served out his legally required eight-year tenure.
Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the vice president, will be his greatest challenger because many influential party figures believe he will replace him as the NPP’s candidate on the ballot.
Kennedy Ohene Agyapong and Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, for example, have stated that they plan to run in the 2023 presidential primary elections.

DEBUT ALBUM: Miriam Mandipira & The Soul Family
DEBUT ALBUM by Miriam Mandipira & The Soul Family!
You’ve never heard a voice like Miriam Mandipira’s. Undeservedly, she doesn’t take credit for the power or presence she delivers. For Miriam, music is much more than just notes and words. It’s
magic. And faith. You can experience it LIVE and on the album, which is set to be released on September 1st.
She has been singing for as long as she can remember, growing up with her ears glued to the radio.
From the moment her school teacher asked her to sing in class, the rest has been history. From Africa to Denmark, from Book Café in Harare to Mojo Blues Bar and the big concert halls. From
Danish Radio Big Band to the Royal Theater. Music is music, and Miriam is the music.
“But it’s not about me when I sing. I’m just the instrument, and when I’m on stage with my band, I sing from a place that’s not about rules and technique but about emotions,” says the singer, who is
seriously trying her hand at songwriting – together with her Soul Family on the album “Ndiwe”, which means ‘you are the chosen one of my heart.’ The overall message is impossible to ignore
Love.
“Call me a soul singer, call me a jazz singer. I don’t care. Good music is good music, and I love interpreting other people’s songs and being inspired. At the same time, I think it’s great to try my
hand at creating and writing the songs myself – and with my friends in the Soul Family, I have found my place. They are my family, and the curiosity and respect we share are fantastic.”
You can experience that up close when Miriam & The Soul Family take the stage. The enthusiasm for music and communication is impossible to ignore and hear.
“I love to maintain the feeling of being a child. It’s an excitement and curiosity that keeps me going, and that’s why I’m so excited about every single concert – no matter how small or large it is.
Otherwise, I would never do it. This is not just a casual thing. This is a life, and everything means something,” says Miriam, who began her years in Denmark by jamming at Mojo Blues Bar, building a network.
