I Fully Support You …Otumfuo Assures Alan Cash

The Ashanti Kingdom yesterday, October 2, 2024 witnessed a significant event, as Alan Kyerematen, presidential candidate of the Movement for Change, paid a courtesy visit to the revered Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, at the Manhyia Palace.

This visit marked the beginning of Mr. Kyerematen’s Caravan Campaign Tour in the Ashanti Region, where he is expected to campaign for 21 days, ahead of the December 7 general elections.

Alan Kyerematen, in the presence of the king, introduced his dynamic young running mate, Mr. Kwame Owusu Danso.

The presidential candidate explained that the choice of Kwame Owusu Danso, a youthful and experienced professional, was a deliberate decision to prepare the next generation for leadership.

He lauded his running mate’s diverse background as a former musician, footballer, lawyer and broadcast journalist, making him the ideal person to partner in reshaping the future of Ghana.

The traditional rulers of the Manhyia Palace, who have long revered Alan Kyerematen for his contributions to the nation, took turns to extol the virtues of the former Trade and Industry Minister.

They offered their blessings for his candidacy, expressing confidence in his ability to lead the country towards development and prosperity, under his Great Transformational Plan (GTP).

In his remarks, the Asantehene did not hold back his admiration for Alan Kyerematen.

Otumfuo praised Alan Kyerematen for his humility, vision and deep understanding of the challenges facing the nation.

He encouraged the presidential candidate to ensure that Ghanaians fully appreciate the merits of his GTP, which he believes holds the key to sustainable economic growth.

However, the most striking moment of the visit came when Otumfuo Osei Tutu II declared, “I have already blessed you.”

The King went on to explain that, Alan Kyerematen, as a true grandson of the Asante Kingdom, naturally has his support in his presidential bid.

“If a grandson of mine is going to contest to become president, why would I not support him?” the King added, leaving no doubt about his position on Mr. Kyerematen’s candidacy.

For those unfamiliar with the deep bond between Alan Kyerematen and the Asante Kingdom, it is important to note that he is a royal of Ejisu and a direct descendant of the legendary Yaa Asantewaa.

His late father, Alexander Atta Yaw Kyerematen, was the visionary founder of the National Cultural Centre in Kumasi and a key figure in preserving Asante culture and heritage.

The endorsement from Otumfuo has sent shockwaves across the Ashanti Region.

As Alan Kyerematen’s campaign caravan kicks off, the region is already buzzing with excitement.

With the Asantehene’s blessing and the people’s overwhelming support, the Ashanti Region seems poised to rally behind the son of the soil, in his quest for the presidency.
