Former Trade and Industry Minister Alan Kyerematen has made a passionate appeal to the people of Asanteman to rally behind him as he prepares to host the highly anticipated Afranfranto Mega Walk in Kumasi. The walk, scheduled for tomorrow, October 19, 2024, is set to be a massive event and forms a crucial part of Kyerematen’s campaign for the presidency in the upcoming 2024 general elections.
The walk will commence at the premises of the Centre for National Culture (Cultural Centre) in Kumasi and culminate at the Kumasi City Mall. It is expected to draw thousands of supporters and well-wishers from across the region and beyond.
*A Call for Unity and Support*
In a pre-event address, Kyerematen urged the people of the Ashanti Region to come out in their numbers to demonstrate their solidarity and support for his vision for a new Ghana. He emphasized that his independent candidacy offers a unique opportunity for the people of Asanteman, as he pledges to prioritize their development needs and aspirations.
“Asanteman has always been at the forefront of Ghana’s progress, and now is the time for us to unite once again to build a prosperous future for ourselves and the generations to come. I am committed to the growth and development of this region and the entire nation,” Kyerematen stated.
He expressed his gratitude to the people of Ashanti for their unwavering support throughout his political career and urged them to stand firm behind his vision of a more inclusive and economically empowered Ghana.
*Kyerematen’s Presidential Ambin*
The Afranfranto Mega Walk is part of a series of activities aimed at strengthening Alan Kyerematen’s presidential bid after his departure from the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP). Kyerematen resigned from the NPP in September 2023, citing internal challenges within the party and a desire to present a fresh, independent alternative for Ghanaians.
His decision to run as an independent candidate has drawn widespread attention, particularly in the Ashanti Region, which is traditionally a stronghold of the NPP. Kyerematen, however, remains confident that his vision for an inclusive economy, underpinned by industrialization and job creation, will resonate with the people.
“I believe that the future of this country cannot be built on old paradigms. We need a new approach, one that focuses on empowering every Ghanaian, especially the youth and small businesses, to thrive. My campaign is about creating opportunities for all, regardless of political affiliation,” he said.
* Expectations for the Mega Walk*
The Afranfranto Mega Walk is expected to attract thousands of participants, including key supporters, dignitaries, and community leaders who have endorsed Kyerematen’s candidacy. The event will feature speeches, musical performances, and an opportunity for participants to interact with Kyerematen and his team.
Kyerematen’s campaign team has indicated that the event is not only a show of support but also a way to engage the public directly and listen to their concerns and aspirations. Organizers say the walk will highlight Kyerematen’s commitment to grassroots involvement in shaping his policies and his vision for the country.
The Afranfranto Mega Walk is poised to be one of the largest political events in the Ashanti Region in recent years, with many viewing it as a pivotal moment in Kyerematen’s campaign. Political analysts have also noted that the walk could be a major test of Kyerematen’s influence in the region, which is crucial for his chances in the 2024 elections.
*Building Momentum*
As the 2024 elections draw closer, Alan Kyerematen has been working hard to build momentum across the country, with key campaign events in various regions. His independent candidacy is seen as a bold move, with many observers noting that it could reshape Ghana’s political landscape.
Kyerematen’s message of unity, economic transformation, and inclusivity is gaining traction among voters who are seeking a departure from the traditional two-party system dominated by the NPP and the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
With the Afranfranto Mega Walk just hours away, the eyes of the nation will be on Kumasi, as Kyerematen makes his case to the people of Asanteman and the rest of Ghana.
*Conclusion*
As the political climate in Ghana heats up ahead of the 2024 elections, Alan Kyerematen’s Afranfranto Mega Walk promises to be a significant event that could shape the trajectory of his presidential bid. With the support of the people of Asanteman, Kyerematen is confident that his vision for a new Ghana can become a reality.
The walk will start from the Cultural Centre and end at the Kumasi City Mall tomorrow, October 19, 2024, with thousands expected to participate in what could be a defining moment for Kyerematen’s campaign.
