NPP Accused of Exploiting Alan Kyerematen’s Supporters for ‘Baboon Work’ – Movement for Change
The Movement for Change (M4C) has launched a sharp critique against the New Patriotic Party (NPP), alleging that the party is seeking the support of Alan Kyerematen’s followers for political tasks it deems menial—referred to derogatorily as “baboon work.” The comment, reportedly from a senior M4C member, underscores growing tensions between the two political entities.

“Baboon Work” Accusation and Political Undercurrents
An M4C spokesperson, Solomon Owusu, remarked:
“Now, this whole release is also to tell Mr Alan Kyerematen and his supporters that we only need your presence to come and do the baboon jobs.”

This pointed statement appears to imply that the NPP is using the support base of Alan Kyerematen—who broke away from the party to form M4C—as strategic labor, rather than treating them as genuine partners.
A Rift Between Former Allies
Alan John Kyerematen, a former NPP flagbearer, left the party in September 2023 to launch M4C where his “butterfly” symbol represents transformation and a hopeful future for Ghana. His departure has created friction, with both parties now engaged in fierce political positioning.

The “baboon work” comment deepens the divide, framing M4C’s support as transactional—an insult that underscores deepening mistrust.
