\n

Independent Presidential candidate, Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen, has expressed satisfaction with the peaceful and organized election process at most polling stations in Ghana.<\/p>\n

After casting his ballots at the Presby Polling Centre 1A, 1B, and 2 in the Ayawaso West Wuogun Constituency, Mr Kyerematen encouraged all eligible voters to exercise their democratic rights.<\/p>\n

He was accompanied by his wife, Patricia. He emphasized that voting was a crucial aspect of shaping the country\u2019s future and a civic duty that every citizen should fulfill.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor those who haven\u2019t voted yet, the message is clear: come out and exercise your democratic right. Voting is a crucial part of shaping the country\u2019s future, and by participating, you are putting yourself at the centre of Ghana\u2019s national development agenda.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the Electoral Commission of Ghana emphasizes, voting is a civic duty, and every eligible citizen should make their voice heard. So, if you haven\u2019t voted yet, take this opportunity to make a difference. Remember, every vote counts, and it\u2019s good for Ghana and your own future,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Kyerematen, an independent presidential candidate, is a renowned Ghanaian politician, corporate executive, and former member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has had a distinguished career spanning over four decades.<\/p>\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n

Born on October 3, 1955, Mr Kyerematen has held various high-profile positions, including the Minister of Trade and Industry from 2017 to 2023.<\/p>\n

Mr Kyerematen\u2019s impressive resume comprises serving as Ghana\u2019s Ambassador to the United States from 2001 to 2003.<\/p>\n

He also worked as the minister of Trade and Industry; Private Sector Development (PSD), and Presidential Special Initiatives (PSI) during former President John Agyekum Kufuor\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n

He had worked as a trade advisor at the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where he coordinated the African Trade Policy Centre (ATPC).<\/p>\n

In September 2023, Mr Kyerematen founded the Movement for Change (M4C) as a political group after withdrawing from the NPP\u2019s flagbearership race, in a bid to contest as an independent candidate in the 2024 general election.<\/p>\n

The Movement for Change seeks to promote national unity, economic growth, and social development.<\/p>\n

Mr Kyerematen has received several awards and recognition for his contributions to Ghana\u2019s economic development. He was listed by Time Magazine as one of the 100 global leaders for the new millennium in 1994.<\/p>\n

With his vast experience and achievements, Mr Alan Kyerematen is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with in Ghanaian politics.<\/p>\n

The 2024 General Election took place across 276 constituencies in Ghana, with 18.8 million registered voters expected to cast their ballots.<\/p>\n

Out of the 18.8 million registered voters, 459,291 represent four per cent of the voter population. The voter population is split into 48 per cent male and 52 per cent female.<\/p>\n

There are 13 presidential candidates in the running, with some representing political parties and four being independent candidates.<\/p>\n

However, at the parliamentary level, 111 candidates are contesting as independents.<\/p>\n

Ghana\u2019s Electoral System is such that the President of Ghana is elected using the two-round system, while members of Parliament are elected in single-member constituencies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
