Ashanti Turns Yellow for Alan
The political landscape in the Ashanti Region witnessed a dramatic twist with massive endorsement for the young but vibrant Movement for Change(MFC) during the Afafranto Walk in Kumasi.
The mind-blowing revolution, which saw tens of thousands of known political industry players joining the MFC train, confirmed the class and sanity of Hon. Alan Kyerematen, the founder of Movement for Change (MFC).
The massively patronized programme saw participants joyfully dancing to brass band music to the delight of onlookers and other stakeholders.
The historic walk, which started from Bekwai roundabout through to Kumasi Dubai market and Adum, passed through Asafo Market, Labour Department and Asafo Mosque Roundabout en route to the Kumasi Sports Stadium and Kumasi Mall.
This political wave, engineered by Hon. Alan Kyerematen and patronized by overflowing supporters, confirmed a significant departure from the established norms in the region in terms of political faith.
As the heartbeat of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) , a wind of change appeared to have blown across the Ashanti’s political space with some disappointed party members openly and boldly joining the MFC train.
The massive Afafranto Walk, which was hosted in Ashanti Region, saw the participation of celebrated national icons like Sister Afia, Twene Jonas, and Oliver Khan ‘the ship dealer’, lending their influence and voice to the movement.
Their involvement has not only bolstered the visibility of the movement but also signaled a shift in support towards Alan Kyerematen’s cause.
Having served diligently in Ghana’s Trade and Industry Ministry for over a decade under two different regimes, Kyerematen’s decision to break away from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to form the Movement for Change was a bold and pivotal moment in the country’s political landscape.
His departure from the NPP stemmed from what he perceived as political maneuvering within the party, aimed at granting undue advantage to certain candidates during the Presidential Primaries.
The Yellow Revolution has gained widespread attention and support, notably through events such as the highly acclaimed Afafranto Walk and other community based engagements.
The symbolism of the color yellow has become synonymous with this movement. It represents a fresh approach to politics in the Ashanti Region, a departure from the conventional party lines that have historically defined the region’s political allegiance.
The widespread support gained by the Yellow Revolution confirmed the growing disillusionment among the Ashanti populace with conventional politics.
Alan Kyerematen’s track record and commitment to effecting change resonated strongly with many Ghanaians seeking a departure from entrenched political tactics.
As the 2024 General Elections draw nearer, the Yellow Revolution continues to gather momentum with each passing day.
