Alan Kyerematen, founder of the Movement for Change and the presidential candidate of the Afrafranto Alliance, has clarified his ultimate motivation for seeking the presidency, asserting that his drive is rooted in a deep-seated love for Ghana, not political ambition. “I am not in this to simply win power,” Mr Kyerematen stated. “My commitment to Ghana and the well-being of every Ghanaian is what drives me forward. We need to put Ghana first and rise above political lines for the sake of our future.” His call comes amid enthusiasm among supporters who view his platform as a unique, transformative vision for the nation.
Mr Kyerematen’s message of a government of national unity resonated during the second day of his caravan campaign tour, which saw him stop in the communities of Weija and Bortiano. He engaged locals directly, emphasizing that his primary goal is to ensure a prosperous Ghana that leaves no citizen behind. “This campaign is not just about votes; it’s about listening to Ghanaians, hearing their challenges, and ensuring we act on them. Weija, Bortiano, and every other community deserve to be heard,” Alan affirmed, reinforcing his commitment to a people-centred approach.
As part of his outreach, Alan Kyerematen invited Ghanaians of all political backgrounds to join his movement, appealing to those who share his vision for a better Ghana. “My doors are open to anyone who wants to see real progress,” he declared. “Let’s build a coalition that goes beyond party colours because Ghana’s future is more important than any political affiliation. Whether you are NPP, NDC, or independent, we can stand together as one for Ghana.”
The caravan campaign tour, led by Mr Kyerematen and his Movement for Change team, aimed to engage with citizens across the country, listening to their concerns and sharing a vision for a brighter future. In Weija and Bortiano, he outlined practical steps to tackle issues like youth unemployment, education, and healthcare, all central to his Great Transformational Plan (GTP). “I’m not here to make promises for the sake of it,” Alan said. “We have a clear plan to build an economy that supports all Ghanaians and to create opportunities for everyone.”
The response from the communities was overwhelmingly positive, with crowds cheering his arrival and engaging in dialogue. Many locals expressed their desire for a leader who is invested in grassroots issues and aligned with their hopes. “This is what we’ve been waiting for—a leader who will actually listen to us and not just tell us what we want to hear,” said a resident of Weija.
Mr Kyerematen’s commitment to building bridges within communities is underscored by his interactions with community leaders and citizens. His Movement for Change seeks to establish a stronger presence in every region by fostering collaboration with traditional and community leaders. “Local leaders play a critical role in the development of their communities, and their support is vital to our vision. We’re not just here to visit; we’re here to partner with these communities for the long haul,” he emphasized.
The Movement for Change caravan tour is designed not only to inform but also to mobilize, creating a sense of unity across Ghana. Alan is focused on laying the groundwork for a government that places citizens at its core and prioritizes the nation’s growth. “Our journey is just beginning, and we will work passionately and tirelessly to ensure that every Ghanaian has the opportunity to prosper,” he promised, emphasizing that that is his passion. “The Movement for Change is more than a political organization – it’s a vision for a new Ghana.”
In closing, Alan Kyerematen reiterated his unwavering dedication to the country. “What drives my interest in politics is not the allure of power. It is my love for Ghana. I am here for the people, for the communities, and for a future where every Ghanaian has the opportunity to thrive,” he declared, inspiring many to see him as a leader whose vision goes beyond political ambition to a true commitment to national progress.
