Election 2024: Alan, Abu Sakara form ‘Alliance for Revolutionary Change’

The Movement for Change (M4C), founded by Alan John Kyerematen, and the National Interest Movement (NIM), a political civil society coalition convened by Dr Michael Abu Sakara Foster, have disclosed that they have concluded talks with many political entities and individuals to establish a grand alliance to contest the 2024 general elections.

The Alliance will be launched on Wednesday, April 17, 2024.  This is contained in a press release dated April 4, 2024.

“The Alliance, named the ‘Alliance for Revolutionary Change’ (ARC), will aggressively mobilize Ghanaians from across the country, particularly the youth and women, irrespective of their religious, political, and ethnic affiliations, in a grand coalition to elect the first independent candidate as the President of the Republic of Ghana. When voted into government, the Alliance will focus on breaking the cycle of poverty and resetting the country on a new path to prosperity,” portions of the press release read.

According to the release, “The Alliance seeks to end the dominance of the duopoly, the NDC and the NPP, in Ghanaian politics, two parties that, after 32 years in government, have failed to address the fundamental development challenges in our beloved country. The divisiveness in Ghanaian politics, the ‘Winner takes all’ syndrome, as well as the lack of continuity in the execution of government projects that have been associated with the duopoly, have brought untold hardships on the good people of Ghana.”

It assured that “the Alliance will work towards forming an all-inclusive national unity government with representation from political parties, the business community, farmers and fishermen, labour unions, faith-based organizations, traditional authorities, civil society organizations, academia, the media, and other stakeholder interest groups. The Alliance will also mobilize consensus towards a national development plan that will go beyond party manifestos and constitute the blueprint for Ghana’s economic transformation.”

“To realise this objective, the Alliance will advocate for fundamental constitutional reforms, including but not limited to reforms in governance, public sector accountability, management of our natural resources,  and mindset and attitudinal change in Ghana,” the release concluded.
