How Kyerematen will make Ghana a paradise

Speaking at the official launch of his newly formed political party, Kyerematen promised to transform Ghana into a paradise.

"If given power, we promise Ghana will become a paradise by 2040," he promised.

He explained that he would achieve this through industrialisation, job creation, and sustainable economic growth, ensuring opportunities for all Ghanaians.

Alan Kyerematen, who served as Minister for Trade and Industry under former President Nana Akufo-Addo, stated that Ghana’s development trajectory has only benefited a select few.

He said the UP intends to break this cycle by ensuring that equal opportunities are created for all citizens.

“What we have been witnessing since independence is that opportunities are open for only a few people. The United Party is going to change that. We wll provide the opportunity for every citizen to realise their full potential," he further stated.
