Election 2024: Reject political parties that attempt to buy your votes – Alan to Ghanaians
Presidential Candidate and leader of the Movement for Change, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, has urged Ghanaians to reject political parties that offer money in exchange for votes in the upcoming December 7 elections.
Addressing supporters at Obogu in the Asante Akim South Constituency, Mr. Kyerematen described the act of giving money in exchange for votes as a sign of disrespect, urging voters to resist such offers.
“They will come and share things for you to vote for them. They will come with money but think about it twice. If after all these years they didn’t come to you and now they are giving you money, it simply shows that they don’t respect you,” he said.

Kyerematen said that politics should be about bringing meaningful change to the lives of citizens, not short-term incentives designed to sway votes.
He urged the people of Obogu to assess the development in their communities and, if they found it lacking, to vote against the ruling party in the December 7 polls.
“Politics is about development. If the country has not moved forward under their leadership, then we need to change them,” he said.
Meanwhile, Kwame Owusu Danso (KOD), the running mate of Alan Kyerematen, has pledged to transform Ghana’s fishing and trading sectors under the Great Transformational Plan (GTP).
Speaking in an engaging interview on Benya FM in Elmina, KOD outlined key policies that promise to significantly improve the livelihoods of traders and fisherfolk across the country.
Among the most exciting announcements was the creation of the Traders Bank, a specialized financial institution aimed at providing much-needed support for Ghanaian traders.
KOD explained that the government would provide seed capital for the bank, but its ownership and management would rest with the traders themselves.
“This is not just a bank for traders but a bank owned and run by traders. This will enable them to access affordable loans to grow their businesses without being burdened by high interest rates,” KOD revealed.
