Alan Kyerematen, the founder of the Movement for Change, has positioned himself as the leader Ghana needs to bring unity and peace during this critical period of heightened political tensions between the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
He believes that both parties are too entrenched in internal conflicts to effectively govern the country or maintain peace.
Speaking at a mega walk in Kumasi, Kyerematen emphasized that his leadership would be a game-changer, bringing people together and preventing further discord. He urged citizens to break free from the dominance of the NPP and NDC, promising to reform the 1992 Constitution if elected.
Kyerematen argues that the current constitution perpetuates corruption and hinders good governance, requiring significant amendments to create a more accountable system.
“Ghanaians are saying the country has been divided into two,” Kyerematen noted. “Things that do not require us to be political, we are political about them.
The NPP and NDC factions we belong to have internal rifts. Do they think the country belongs to them? If the country belongs to them, they should tell me so that I can go and sit down.”
Kyerematen presented himself as a neutral figure, unaffiliated with the internal conflicts of the two major parties. “If we have two people fighting, we need someone to be the referee, right? Know that Alan Kyerematen is the referee for Ghana. Alan is the only person who can bring peace to Ghana,” he stated.
He also addressed the Free SHS policy, acknowledging its sound intentions but criticizing its flawed implementation.
Kyerematen believes the policy needs reassessment to truly benefit Ghanaians. By tackling this contentious issue, he demonstrates his commitment to improving education and governance.
Kyerematen’s message resonates with Ghanaians seeking change beyond party affiliations. He vowed that if elected, he would transform Ghana within one year. “In the December polls, if the NDC wins, it will create trouble same as the NPP. The only person who will win and peace will prevail is Alan Kyerematen. If you give me the mandate, within one year, Ghana will be transformed,” he assured.
As Ghana prepares for the December polls, Kyerematen’s appeal to unity, constitutional reform, and effective governance has garnered attention. His promise to bring peace and transformation to Ghana positions him as a viable alternative to the traditional party dominance. Will his message inspire voters to break away from the NPP and NDC, or will the familiar party dynamics prevail?
