Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen (born 3 October 1955) is a Ghanaian politician.[1] He served as Ghana’s Minister for Trade and Industry from 2017 to 2023.[2][3] Kyerematen was Ghana's Ambassador to the United States and later Minister of Trade and Industry, Private Sector Development (PSD), and Presidential Special Initiatives (PSI) during President John Kufuor's administration. Kyerematen has served as a trade advisor at the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where he coordinated the African Trade Policy Centre (ATPC).
Kyerematen made an attempt at the leadership of the New Patriotic Party in 2007, capturing 32.3% of votes cast. He was the first runner-up to Nana Akufo-Addo who gained 47.96% of votes cast.[4] Kyerematen made other attempts at the party's leadership in 2010 and 2014 but placed second to Akufo-Addo, who won the primaries. In 2012, Ghana nominated Kyerematen for the post of WTO director-general to succeed out-going director-general Pascal Lamy, and his candidature received the backing of the African Union (AU).[5][6] However, he did not make the shortlist for the final selection process in 2013.[7][8][9][10]
