The Upper East Regional Anchor for the Movement for Change, Rayan Nasir, has urged Ghanaians to break away from the entrenched duopoly of the NPP and NDC and vote for Alan Kyerematen.
Speaking on Yem Radio in Bolgatanga, Nasir noted that the two dominant parties have taken the nation for granted, holding onto power without delivering true progress for the people.
He thus called on Ghanaians to vote for the leader of the Movement for Change, who he said is the only candidate capable of fostering a government of national unity that would harness the country’s brightest minds, many of whom have been sidelined by partisan politics.
Nasir emphasised that Alan Kyerematen’s leadership promises transformative policies, including a commitment to economic empowerment through the One District, One Factory initiative.
“This program was Alan’s brainchild, yet it has been undermined under the current administration. “If elected, Alan will ensure that every district benefits fully, creating jobs and fostering economic development at the grassroots level.”
Ali Zakari, the North East Regional Anchor for the Movement for Change, echoed Nasir’s sentiments, citing the region’s untapped agricultural potential.
“The North East is blessed with crops like rice and watermelon, but due to the absence of processing factories, our farmers have no choice but to sell their produce cheaply or watch it go to waste. Under Alan’s administration, these crops will be processed locally, increasing farmers’ earnings and creating jobs for the youth,” he added.
Nasir also cited Alan’s commitment to fighting corruption, including his pledge to establish an independent anti-corruption agency led by a ‘corruption czar’ with prosecutorial powers.
“For too long, corruption has been a cancer eating away at our country’s wealth. Alan’s Great Transformational Plan aims to root out this corruption by consolidating all anti-corruption bodies into one robust institution,” Nasir stated.
He urged voters to support a leader willing to take bold steps against corrupt officials, no matter their political affiliations, and to push for transparency and accountability at all levels of government.
Addressing the environmental devastation caused by illegal mining, or galamsey, Nasir noted Alan’s strong stance on protecting Ghana’s natural resources.
“Galamsey has destroyed our lands, our rivers, and our livelihoods,” he stated. “Alan has promised to take a stand against it, not by empty words but by working with local chiefs to restore and protect our natural heritage.”
“This winner-takes-all system has failed us. It’s time for a government that unites rather than divides, a government that draws on the skills of our brightest minds, not just party loyalists,” he asserted.
He called on Ghanaians, especially those in the North East, to break the cycle of partisan politics and support a leader committed to uniting the nation and fostering a collaborative approach to development.
