Former Member of Parliament (MP) for Adentan Constituency, Yaw Buaben Asamoa has urged Ghanaians who have decided not to partake in the December 2024 elections to reconsider their decision.

He observed that people are dissatisfied with the current state of the economy under the ruling government and may not see the essence of voting on December 7, but he encouraged them to go to the various polling stations and cast their votes respectively.

“I encourage Ghanaians to partake in the elections. We should vote for the type of change we want. Ghanaians have the right to vote for a political leader who proposes changes,” he told Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah.

He further demanded that Ghanaians make their votes count by voting for a transformative leader like the flagbearer of the Movement for Change, Alan Kyerematen.

“I say this because the two major political parties that have governed the state have both presented comprehensive manifestos since 1992, they have presented 100 manifestos, four of which have been implemented,” he said.

According to Buaben Asamoa, with the great transitional plan introduced by Alan Kyerematen, the country is rest assured of the change everyone had been yearning for.

He added that “Change can be only achieved if we assist Ghanaians with the proposed enterprise economy”, which has the potential to reduce interest rates.

“State enterprises will be listed on the Ghana stock exchange for workers to purchase shares. For instance, the hostels the government intended to sell will give its workers an ownership scheme. That, we will focus on promoting and supporting private businesses and also reduce the interest rates,” he said on the Angel Morning Show.

The former MP explained that through this initiative, citizens will see an increase in profits, leading to revenue generation for the government and reducing the need to borrow money to pay debts.
