“Alan Kojo Kyerematen Embarks on National Tour: Eastern Region Next Stop”
The leader and founder of the Movement for Change and an independent presidential candidate for the 2024 general elections, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, has taken his ongoing national tour to the Eastern Region of the country, urging Ghanaians to vote massively for him in the upcoming presidential election.
He called on the Omanhene of the New Juaben Traditional Council, Daasebre Nana Kwaku Boateng III and also engaged various stakeholders in the capital.
Mr Kyerematen also engaged students at the Koforidua Technical University, the Clergy, and Islamic leaders on his Great Transformational Plan which he believes would redeem the nation from the crippling economic crisis.
He echoed the need for change of leadership in the country, saying “The time given to the NPP and NDC, 32 years in total, should have been enough to put us in a better place than we are now.”
The Movement for Change leader described the current economic crisis facing Ghana, as the worst in the nation’s history. This situation, he argued, demands an urgent and revolutionary approach.
Alan critiqued the “winner takes all” political system, which he believes leaves millions of Ghanaians and large regions neglected. “Constant restarts have robbed Ghanaians of consistent progress and sustainable development. What we need is a practical, long-term national development plan spanning the next 30 years.”
He added that the current eight-year election cycle has bred arrogance and apathy in leadership.
He was joined by other leaders of the Alliance for Revolutionary Change, including Dr. Abu Sakara and Odike. The Alliance was established with the support of diverse parties and interest groups that share a common vision for a national unity government that prioritizes national development over political interests. While each member of the Alliance retains their independence, Alan represents the formidable group as their candidate of choice for the 2024 general election.
Alan questioned the notion that the NPP and NDC have majorities that cannot be challenged, explaining that the registered number of voters in Ghana, which stands at around 17 million, dwarfs the registered card-bearing members in either the NPP or NDC.
“Out of this 17 million, about 9 million are youth between the ages of 18-35. These are the people who have the power to shape the future of Ghana, and they are the people we want to serve,” he noted.
Alan also addressed the alarming depreciation of the Cedi, saying “The strength of the Cedi depends on demand and supply. Our solution needs to be twofold: we must reduce the demand on the dollar by reducing our dependency on imports through local production and import substitution. We must also boost exports to increase the injection of foreign exchange into Ghana. As president of Ghana, I will lead a national export strategy that will generate $25 billion by 2030.”
For him, the loss of confidence in the economy contributes to the decline of the Cedi and prompts investors to withdraw from the country. “Choosing a good leader will restore confidence in the economy and help stabilize the Cedi.”
