Alan Kyerematen, the founder and leader of the Movement for Change (M4C), has formally selected Kwame Owusu Danso as his running mate in the 2018 elections.
This announcement came soon after Kyerematen submitted his nomination to the Electoral Commission on Wednesday.
Kwame Owusu Danso, a well-known lawyer and prominent player in Ghanaian politics, adds significant experience and diversified abilities to the ticket.
His nomination is viewed as a strategic move aimed at broadening the campaign’s appeal to other voter groupings.
According to a statement made by Kyerematen, Owusu Danso’s selection is consistent with the goals of Ghana’s youth, who want to be more involved in government choices. Danso was described as a young icon, known for his versatility and diverse talents in corporate management, law, broadcast journalism, music, and civil society engagement.
Danso’s track record of advocating for public causes, particularly those supporting good governance, adds to his reputation.
His collaboration with renowned specialists like as Dr. Lloyd Amoah of the University of Ghana and governance experts Dr. Kojo Asante and Dr. Franklin Oduro of the Centre for Democratic Development (CDD) demonstrates his dedication to openness and accountability.
Danso, a founding member of the Forum for Accountable Governance (FAG), is committed to anti-corruption, electoral reforms, environmental governance, and human rights.
His nomination is expected to connect with Ghana’s youth, elevating their voices and concerns to the forefront of national policymaking.
