Independent presidential aspirant, Alan Kyerematen, has issued a stern caution to the National Democratic Congress (NDC), advising against presuming an effortless victory in the upcoming 2024 general election as the NPP’s eight-year term approaches its conclusion
In his statement, the former Trade and Industry Minister emphasized the historical pattern of power alternation between the NPP and NDC since 1992.
Kyerematen cautioned the NDC not to overestimate their likelihood of winning the forthcoming election based solely on the transition of power.
However, Kyerematen firmly warned the NDC that his movement for change is determined to make history by disrupting the longstanding political duopoly.
Speaking passionately at an event in Kumasi, where he sought to garner more support for his movement, he underlined that the time has come for Ghana to consider selecting an independent president for a transformative impact on the nation’s future.
The NDC believes that because we change governments, regardless of the state of the economy, they assume it’s their turn to win the next elections. I would have been the NPP’s flagbearer if 3duro me so’ had worked. I didn’t claim it was my turn; it was the grassroots who championed it.
The idea was turned down, so I left. So, if they think that it’s their turn to win the elections, the movement for change is coming. There’s a call for change, in 2024, history will be made in this country, the first independent candidate will become the president of Ghana, he said.
Kyerematen’s message suggests that the conventional expectations of political power transitions might be challenged in the upcoming election. His emphasis on creating history and breaking the duopoly underscores his belief in the potential for a significant shift in Ghana’s political landscape.
In essence, Alan Kyerematen’s address serves as a powerful declaration, signaling his intent to reshape the political narrative and offering a compelling argument for the electorate to consider alternative leadership in the upcoming election.
