The Ghanaian political landscape appears to have been electrified with the sudden appearance of new posters featuring Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen, an independent presidential candidate, for the upcoming 2024 general elections.
Particularly prominent in the Greater Accra and Ashanti regions, these posters, according to his campaign managers, are testament to the growing strength of the ‘Movement for Change,’ a political vehicle initiated by the former Trade and Industry Minister, following his resignation from the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Amidst a backdrop of disenchantment and disillusionment with traditional political parties, the emergence of Alan Kyerematen’s ‘Movement for Change’, according to the campaign team, has captured the attention of Ghanaians, who have expressed their disappointment in the long-standing polarisation between the two dominant political parties, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and NPP.
Many citizens have voiced their disinterest in politics, citing a lack of substantial change and progress under the leadership of these parties.
Alan Kyerematen’s decision to step away from the NPP and establish the ‘Movement for Change’ has garnered widespread attention, signifying a pivotal moment in Ghana’s political landscape.
This move has galvanised his supporters, who view him as a transformative leader capable of steering the nation towards a brighter and more prosperous future.
During the “big announcement”, when he indicated his willingness to contest the 2024 general election as an independent presidential candidate, Alan Kyerematen emphasised the significance of his ‘Great Transformational Plan’ (GTP) in lifting Ghana’s fortunes, fostering sustained economic growth and nurturing prosperity across the country.
With his political experience and expertise in industrialisation, Kyerematen’s candidacy, his campaign team argued, received resounding endorsements from various political stalwarts within the NPP and beyond.
Momentum
The momentum of Alan Kyerematen’s political journey was recently underscored by the ‘Aduru Wo So Health Walk’, held first in Kumasi in May 2023, followed by the vibrant Accra edition, about a month later.
In both cities, thousands of enthusiastic NPP supporters thronged the streets to demonstrate their unwavering support for Kyerematen as their preferred flagbearer hopeful.
Chants and energetic displays of NPP solidarity filled the air, as supporters brandished placards highlighting Kyerematen’s vision for the nation’s progress.
“As the ‘Movement For Change’ continues to gain momentum, Alan Kyerematen’s unwavering commitment to fostering unity and fostering a transformative vision for Ghana remains at the forefront, captivating the hearts and minds of Ghanaians from all walks of life.”, one of his spokesmen told The Chronicle.
