In a bold move to reshape the political landscape of Ghana, the Movement for Change (M4C), a political movement founded and led by Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen announced on Thursday, April 4, an alliance with some smaller groupings.
The yet-to-be outdoor new movement with the name, Alliance for Revolutionary Change (ARC), according to a statement, is comprising various political entities and individuals, aims to unite Ghanaians across all divides to challenge the status quo in the upcoming 2024 general elections.
With a resolute focus on inclusivity, ARC pledges to mobilize the nation’s youth and women, regardless of their religious, political, or ethnic backgrounds, in a concerted effort to elect the first Independent Candidate as President of the Republic of Ghana.
“The Movement for Change (M4C) founded and led by Hon. Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen, and the National Interest Movement (NIM), a political Civil Society Coalition, convened and led by Dr. Michael Abu Sakara Foster, have concluded talks with a number of Political Entities and Individuals to establish a grand Alliance and work together closely to contest the 2024 General elections.”
“The Alliance, named the ‘Alliance for Revolutionary Change (ARC) will aggressively mobilize Ghanaians from across the country, particularly the Youth and Women, irrespective of their religious, political, and ethnic affiliations, in a grand coalition to elect the first Independent Candidate as the President of the Republic of Ghana”
The ARC’s vision extends far beyond mere electoral victory, as it pledges to usher in a new era of prosperity and opportunity for all Ghanaians.
The Alliance seeks to break the cycle of stagnation that has plagued the nation for decades. With a firm commitment to governance free from the shackles of traditional party politics, ARC aims to dismantle the longstanding duopoly of the NDC and the NPP, which has failed to address the core developmental challenges facing Ghana despite over three decades of combined rule.
“The Alliance seeks to end the dominance of the duopoly, the NDC and the NPP, in Ghanaian politics, two Parties which after 32 years in government, have failed to address the fundamental challenges of development in our beloved country. The divisiveness in Ghanaian politics, the ‘Winner takes all syndrome as well as the lack of continuity in the execution of government projects which have been associated with the duopoly, have brought untold hardships on the good people of Ghana.”
The statement noted that the Alliance will work towards forming an all-inclusive Government of National Unity with representation from Political Parties, the Business Community, Farmers and Fishermen, Labour Unions, Falith-Based Organizations, Traditional Authorities, Civil Society Organizations, Academia, Media, and other Stakeholder Interest Groups.
