The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has tasked independent presidential candidate, Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen, and his team to conduct their campaign devoid of inciteful comments.
Otumfuo says he expects the leader of the Alliance for Revolutionary Change (ARC) to focus on selling the encouraging messages and developmental plans he has for the country to the electorates.
According to him, Alan Kyerematen’s Great Transformational Plan (GTP) –the blueprint of his vision for the country — is capable of transforming the country if it is implemented.
He made the comments Wednesday, October 02, 2024, when the campaign train for Alan Kyerematen made a stop in the Ashanti region.
The team is on a tour to 350 communities in the 47 constituencies in the region beginning from October 02 to October 20.
Before moving to the communities, the team paid a courtesy call on the Asante overlord at the Manhyia Palace for his blessings where he made those comments.
The Asantehene stated that Mr. Kyerematen already has his blessings and will continue to grant him his support to explain his message to Ghanaians for the will of God to prevail at the elections.
“Many of your colleagues have come for my blessings but what we all seek the betterment of Ghana. It is my prayer that whoever all Ghanaians think can help Ghana to progress is the one we should vote for to see how he will help Ghana to succeed.
“He (Alan Kyerematen) already has my blessings and I’ll continue to give it to him to go and continue explaining his vision to Ghanaians. However, it is God who chooses a king and it is God’s will that will prevail,” the Asantehene stated.
“Even though I have not read through the entire document he presented to me, but with the little I’ve read and the explanation he gave from his speech, if this is truly his vision for the country, then he will transform Ghana. Our prayer is that all the political parties and aspirants will see what is troubling the country so that they may devise solutions to them for us to have peace and progress,” he added.
