With less than 50 days to Ghana’s December 7 presidential election, independent candidate John Alan Kwadwo Keyerematen is intensifying his campaign to break the dominance of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Addressing supporters in Kumasi, Keyerematen, leader of the Alliance for Revolutionary Change, declared, “I am the change Ghana needs to turn things around and bring relief to Ghanaians.” His message resonated with the crowd, eager for an alternative to the traditional two-party system.
Alliance for Revolutionary Change Gains Momentum
Keyerematen’s party has been touring 350 communities in 47 constituencies across the Ashanti region, a crucial swing vote. The Alliance believes securing overwhelming support in this region will significantly boost their chances of winning the presidency.
To energize their base, the movement staged a ‘victory walk’ in Kumasi, featuring Keyerematen and his team. The event aimed to mobilize supporters and demonstrate the party’s commitment to change.
Arrogance of Power: Keyerematen’s Critique
Keyerematen condemned the arrogance of power, citing it as a major obstacle to Ghana’s development. He urged voters to reject both the NPP and NDC, alleging they have failed the country.
“Ghanaians deserve better,” Keyerematen emphasized. “It’s time for a new era of leadership, transparency and accountability.”
Ghana’s Electoral Landscape
The NPP and NDC have historically dominated Ghana’s politics. Keyerematen, a former NPP member, seeks to disrupt this duopoly with his Alliance for Revolutionary Change.
As Ghana approaches the December 7 election, Keyerematen’s challenge to the NPP-NDC duopoly has injected renewed excitement into the campaign. Will Ghanaians opt for change or maintain the status quo? The outcome will shape the country’s future.
