Hon. Alan Kyeremateng popularly known as Alan Cash is a Ghanaian Politician, a statesman and a nationalist whose political journey has gained public reputation in the eyes of many as a true statesman whose essence surpasses the “politism” of national discourses. Since 2007, he has sought to become the President of Ghana, and has never garnered enough votes to win the contest but still remains a fortitude in Ghana’s nation building as well as Africa’s.
In 2007, Mr. Alan Kyeremateng stood as a flagbearer but was second to Mr. Nana Akufo-Addo in the presidential primaries under the New Patriotic Party. In 2010, he stood again and was second to Nana Akufo-Addo. He came second again in the 2014 Presidential Primaries. Mr. Alan Kyeremateng resigned from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) on September 6, 2023, after placing third in the party’s 2023 presidential primaries. He later filed his nomination as an independent candidate for the 2024 presidential election on September 11, 2024, under the Afrafranto Alliance. His campaign is built around the Great Transformational Plan (GTP), which focuses on job creation, skills development, and economic transformation. He selected Kwame Owusu Danso, a lawyer, a journalist and a youth activist as his running mate in his promise of working and cooperating with a youth led government as well as people from different political, economic, social and cultural walks of life.
Mr. Alan Kyeremateng attended Adisadel College in the central region of Ghana and then to Achimota School for his sixth form education and proceeded to the University of Ghana, Legon for a Bachelor’s degree in Economics and further studied Law at the same school. In 1994, Alan Kyeremateng was listed by the TIME Magazine as one of the 100 Global leaders for the millennium alongside leaders like Bill Gates and John F. Kennedy.
Mr. Alan Kyeremateng has been a member of the NPP Economic Management Team and a founding member of the Young Executive Forum and chairman from 1992 to 2001, a strategic campaign group within the party which works towards influencing the business community towards supporting the interest of the New Patriotic Party.
Mr. Alan Kyeremateng was appointed as an Ambassador of Ghana to America from 7th January 2001 to June 2002 where he developed the Operation Save Your Schools Programme, a programme designed for Ghanaians inn America to contribute towards the development of their primary or middle schools. In 2003, Mr. Alan Kwadwo Kyeremateng was appointed as the Minister for Trade, Industry and the President’s Special Initiative.
Mr. Alan Kyeremateng stands as one of the quintessential forces ready to transform Ghana and make Ghana, a hub for global investment and trade. Alan Kyeremateng’s versatility and commitment to national unity position him as a leader who can bridge divides and work with diverse groups across political lines. Like Dr. Nkrumah and Prof. Atta Mills, he embodies a true nationalist spirit, prioritizing Ghana’s progress over partisan interests. His Great Transformation Plan and emphasis on constructive engagement demonstrate his vision for a united and prosperous Ghana, making him a potential leader who can bring people together for the nation’s benefit.
