The Movement for Change (M4C), initiated by Alan John Kyerematen, alongside the National Interest Movement (NIM), led by Dr. Michael Abu Sakara Foster, have announced the formation of the Alliance for Revolutionary Change (ARC) to contest the 2024 general elections.
This follows the successful conclusion of negotiations with various political groups and individuals.
The official launch of this alliance is scheduled for Wednesday, April 17, 2024, as revealed in a press statement on April 4, 2024.
The ARC is set on a mission to gather widespread support from Ghanaians across the nation, with a special focus on engaging the youth and women, transcending religious, political, and ethnic backgrounds.
This coalition endeavours to nominate and support the election of the first Independent Candidate to the presidency of Ghana.
With a vision for the future, the alliance commits to addressing and dismantling the prevailing poverty cycle, thereby steering Ghana towards a new era of prosperity, according to excerpts from the press release.
According to the release, “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.”
It assured 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, Faith-Based Organizations, Traditional Authorities, Civil Society Organizations, Academia, Media, and other Stakeholder Interest Groups.
The Alliance will also mobilize consensus towards a National Development Plan which will go beyond Party Manifestoes and constitute the Blueprint for Ghana’s economic transformation.”
“To realise this objective, the Alliance will advocate for fundamental Constitutional Reforms including but not limited to reforms in Governance, Public Sector Accountability, Management of our Natural Resources, as well as Mindset and Attitudinal change in Ghana,” the release concluded.
