Accra, Oct 3, GNA- Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, the Presidential candidate of the Afrafranto Alliance, has received the endorsement of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, at the Manhyia Palace.
This was when the candidate called on the Asantehene as part of a larger Caravan Campaign Tour in the Ashanti Region ahead of the 7th December General Election.
While the occasion was significant in itself, the most remarkable takeaway was the Asantehene’s powerful endorsement of Mr Kyerematen’s Great Transformational Plan (GTP).
A statement copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra said Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, in his remarks, expressed high praise for Alan Kyerematen’s comprehensive GTP, describing it as a visionary development blueprint capable of steering Ghana onto the path of sustainable economic growth and prosperity.
He urged the candidate to ensure that Ghanaians understood the depth and impact of the GTP, as it held the solutions to the country’s most pressing problems.
The king’s words were a reflection of the growing sentiment among Ghanaians in various sectors who believed that Mr. Kyerematen’s GTP was the right plan to transform the nation’s fortunes.
The Asantehene’s endorsement of the GTP was not an isolated voice as some prominent figures from Ghana’s private sector, academia, business community, and civil society organizations had also heaped praises on the plan.
They recognized it as a robust and forward-thinking strategy that addressed key challenges in the economy, governance, and social sectors.
The addition of Otumfuo’s influential voice to the endorsements solidifies the perception that Alan Kyerematen has done an exceptional job in crafting a plan that can truly change Ghana’s future.
As the former Minister of Trade and Industry, Alan Kyerematen’s expertise in economic development and trade was widely recognized.
His experience shines through in the GTP, which has been designed with detailed, practical steps to tackle the country’s long-standing issues.
Otumfuo’s endorsement highlights the GTP’s comprehensive nature, which covers a wide array of sectors, each offering clear, actionable solutions to the problems facing Ghanaians.
The GTP is organized into various clusters, each addressing critical areas of Ghana’s development.
These clusters include economic revitalization, infrastructure development, industrialization, and governance reform.
Additionally, the GTP places a strong emphasis on youth empowerment, digital transformation, and agriculture modernization.
By addressing the key areas, the GTP provides targeted solutions to unemployment, economic instability, poor infrastructure, corruption, and other challenges currently plaguing the country.
Otumfuo Osei Tutu II said the GTP was a well-thought-out national development plan and the detailed nature of the GTP and its clear focus on the long-term well-being of Ghanaians made it stand out as the blueprint that could put Ghana on a steady path to prosperity.
“This is why Alan Kyerematen’s campaign in the Ashanti Region is being closely watched by many. His plan, which already resonates with professionals in key sectors, has now been given the full backing of one of the most influential traditional leaders in the country. Otumfuo’s endorsement signifies the alignment of the Ashanti Kingdom with the vision Alan Kyerematen has laid out for Ghana’s future”.
As Alan Kyerematen continues his 21-day campaign tour in the Ashanti Region, the energy and optimism surrounding his candidacy are evident.
One refreshing moment during the visit was when Otumfuo remembered Alan Kyerematen’s birthday, which falls on October 3, and wished him a happy birthday in advance, adding a personal touch to an already momentous occasion.
