Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has urged Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, leader of the Movement for Change and a presidential candidate, to prioritise a campaign centred on policies rather than personal attacks ahead of the December 7 elections.

The Asantehene shared this counsel during Kyerematen’s visit to the Manhyia Palace on Wednesday, October 2, where he sought the backing of the Ashanti Region.

Otumfuo emphasised the need for a campaign focused on policies that would improve the lives of Ghanaians, cautioning against the use of insults and divisive rhetoric.

“All I will say is that Alan Kyerematen is my grandson, and I will support his vision. I will urge you to clearly explain your policies to Ghanaians so they understand what you’re capable of.

Focus on your campaign and your messages and desist from politics of insult.”

Otumfuo Osei Tutu II urged Alan Kyerematen to focus his presidential campaign on substantive issues that resonate with the concerns of Ghanaians.

The Asantehene made this recommendation when Kyerematen, leader of the Movement for Change, visited the Manhyia Palace on Wednesday, October 2, to garner support from the people of the Ashanti Region.

In response, Kyerematen expressed his gratitude for the Asantehene's advice, vowing to conduct a campaign based on policies rather than personal attacks.

He reaffirmed his dedication to addressing the key challenges facing the nation and emphasised the values of his movement.

Additionally, Kyerematen introduced his running mate to the Asantehene, seeking the blessing and backing of the region’s traditional leadership as he prepares for the election.
