Alan Kyeremanten described his choice of running mate as a fulfilled commitment to the youth.
"I said I was going to deliver to you a young person to be my vice-presidential candidate. I've done so by nominating a very fine gentleman, a lawyer by profession, a political activist, a broadcast journalist, and someone who has been fighting for you, the young people."
Kwame Owusu Danso is a Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology graduate who was called to the bar last year.
Before becoming a lawyer and a broadcaster, he was a musician with the renowned Afropop group Echo.
The group scored a nomination at the Ghana Music Awards in 2009 with their hit single Gologolo, which featured Ghanaian rapper Tinny and was produced by Richie Mensah.

"Ghana will start developing when we begin to employ engineers to build the country instead of lawyers to argue with our lives. The lawyers are the problem, trust me, trust why JJ didn't like them. Is Nana Addo a lawyer?"
@oophy_says remarked:
"🎶 shake your gologolo. whine your gologolo 🎶"
@Papayaw__ noted:
"It’s either Alan has not done a self introspection or he’s just surrounded by a bunch of 'yes men'"
@esikyire added:
"No be small gologolo we go dance from 7th January 2025 😂"
