Leader of the Alliance for Revolutionary Change (ARC), Alan Kyerematen, has vowed to tackle corruption head-on if elected president in the December 2024 General Election.

He has pledged to implement stringent measures to deter dishonest use of power by corrupt political appointees.

Speaking at the launch of the Alliance for Revolutionary Change in Accra, Mr Kyerematen emphasized the historic significance of the occasion, heralding it as a pivotal moment in the country's political trajectory.

He highlighted the importance of the event not only in terms of political party collaboration but also as a step towards redefining Ghana's political landscape, potentially leading to the election of the nation's first independent presidential candidate.

Mr Kyerematen outlined the ARC's vision of establishing a truly inclusive government, comprising representatives from various sectors including political parties, business communities, labor unions, civil society organizations, professional groups, faith-based organizations, traditional authorities, and other interest groups.

He underscored the urgent need for comprehensive reforms, citing persistent challenges such as unemployment, mismanagement of natural resources, and inadequate infrastructure despite decades of independence.

Positioning himself as a catalyst for change, Mr Kyerematen advocated for a shift in governance priorities, with a focus on empowering the private sector as the primary driver of economic growth.

He also aimed to break the dominance of the two major political parties, the NDC and the NPP, which he believes have failed to effectively address Ghana's developmental challenges.

In articulating the ARC's agenda, Mr Kyerematen emphasized the importance of governance reforms, enhancing public sector accountability, and sustainable management of natural resources.

He also stressed the need for a cultural transformation, promoting a mindset and attitude conducive to progress and national development.
