Alan Kyerematen is Ghana’s next Kwame Nkrumah – Owusu Danso

Kwame Owusu Danso, Mr. Alan Kyerematen's running mate, gave a powerful speech at the Afrafranto Mega Victory Walk in Kumasi. He highlighted a noteworthy historical link between Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and Alan Kyerematen.

Speaking to the massive crowd, he claimed that in order to lead Ghana to political independence, Dr. Nkrumah had taken a similar bold step by leaving the United Gold Coast Convention (UGCC) to found the Convention People's Party (CPP), and Alan Kyerematen had done the same by leaving the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to found the Movement for Change.

He stated that ensuring Ghana's long-overdue economic independence is the main goal of this new political organization. “Many people didn’t understand Dr. Kwame Nkrumah when he left the UGCC to form the CPP,” Owusu Danso said, “but he stayed focused on his vision for the country, and in the end, he secured our political independence.”

He emphasized that history is repeating itself, as Alan Kyerematen has made a similar decision to part ways with the NPP to pursue a greater cause—economic freedom for Ghanaians. “Alan Kyerematen is Ghana’s next Kwame Nkrumah, but this time for economic independence,” he declared, to resounding cheers from the crowd.

Many people in attendance were moved by KOD's allusion to Dr. Nkrumah, Ghana's first president and a key player in the struggle for democratic autonomy. According to Owusu Danso, Kyerematen's choice to leave the NPP has also caused some confusion and opposition, much like Nkrumah's decision to leave the UGCC.

However, he shares Nkrumah's belief that Kyerematen will ultimately be proven right.

“At first, people may not understand,” he noted, “but Alan’s vision is clear—to free us from the economic bondage that has plagued this country for decades.” The address was well received by the audience, especially when KOD emphasized the significance of economic independence as a consequence of political freedom.

“Alan Kyerematen understands that the next frontier is economic liberation, and that’s why he has created the Movement for Change—to free Ghanaians from the stranglehold of poverty, unemployment, and underdevelopment.” Alan Kyerematen's Great Transformational Plan (GTP) is the road map for attaining this economic freedom, Owusu Danso reaffirmed.

“Just as Nkrumah laid out his vision for a free Ghana, Alan has laid out his plan to transform this country economically,” he said. “We are on the brink of another independence—this time, economic independence—and Alan is the leader to take us there.” he added.
