Martin Kyerematen was a Ghanaian politician in the first republic. He became the member of parliament (MP) for the Agona Kwabre constituency in 1961 when the then-MP for the constituency, Victor Owusu, was detained for allegedly plotting a coup to overthrow the then incumbent Nkrumah government.[3] He served in this capacity until 1965 when he became the member of parliament for the Agona constituency. He represented the constituency in parliament from 1965 to 1966.[4][5][6]
