Alan in a handshake with Jean Mensa as others look on
Leader and Flagbearer of Movement for Change, Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen, has urged electorates to vote for him come December 7 as he is best fit to lead the country to prosperity.
Mr. Kyerematen, after filing his nomination forms at the Electoral Commission (EC) office, in Accra, said over the years he has exhibited great leadership and dedication in serving the country.
This, he said, informed his decision to stand as an independent candidate for the Movement for Change to respond to the challenges focusing on establishing a robust economy that prioritises jobs creation and youth development.
“Ghanaians are looking for a president who can execute reforms, inspire change, and engage both locally and internationally. The upcoming election presents an opportunity to choose a leader who will not only fulfill these expectations but also pave the way for a brighter future for all citizens” he said.
Mr. Kyerematen also announced Elijah Kwame Owusu Danso (E-KOD) as his running mate.
Electoral Commission Chairperson, Jean Mensa, said the process of receiving nominations from presidential aspirants is crucial as it helps the EC to conduct its peaceful elections.
She said to ensure transparency and compliance with the law, “we have established two specialised teams. The first team will scrutinise the forms to confirm that candidates meet all qualifications, including being at least 40 years of age, fulfilling tax obligations, and nominating a vice-presidential candidate. The second team will verify the voter ID cards of both the candidates and their supporters to ensure they are registered voters.”
Madam Mensa said both teams have received comprehensive training and are prepared to operate within the legal framework, exercising fairness and firmness in their duties. “We believe that the five-day nomination period will provide ample time for candidates to address any errors in their submissions, thereby reducing tensions that have historically marred this process.”
