In a remarkable and unprecedented show of force and strength, Alan Kyerematen’s Movement for Change brought Accra to life as a staggering 400,000 supporters turned out for a record-breaking political walk. The event, which has now become the largest of its kind in Ghana’s history, drew citizens from across the spectrum, with the youth leading a vibrant wave of enthusiasm and unity. The scale of the march exceeded even the massive Kumasi Walk, accentuating the unstoppable momentum of Alan’s Yellow Army as they took over Ghana’s bustling capital.
From the first light of day, a seemingly endless procession of people poured into the streets, transforming Accra into a sea of bright yellow. Every corner of the city echoed with chants, songs, and the sound of drumming, as people - young and old, students and families came together in what can only be described as a political festival. Banners with Alan’s face and the slogan “Ase3 Ho” waved high above the crowd, as marchers energized by hope for a new Ghana captured the city’s attention at every turn.
Alan Kyerematen, who led the procession alongside his energetic running mate, KOD and other senior partners of the Afrafranto Alliance, was at the heart of it all, warmly greeting his supporters, who cheered with a fervor unmatched in recent political gatherings. Walking shoulder-to-shoulder with the young people who have embraced his vision, Alan demonstrated his commitment to bringing them front and center in his plans for Ghana. His Great Transformational Plan (GTP) has captured the imagination of many, particularly the youth, who see in him a leader who genuinely prioritizes their needs and dreams. “Alan is the leader we need!” a young supporter shouted as he fell at Alan’s feet in tears of joy, capturing the sentiments of many who feel deeply inspired by his vision.
The scale of the walk,astonished bystanders who lined the streets to watch as Alan’s Yellow Army moved from neighborhoods to major thoroughfares, filling Accra with a spirit of change and unity. Some joined in spontaneously, drawn in by the atmosphere of hope and the electric energy of the march. “This is a new beginning for Ghana,” one old lady shouted from his balcony waving a white handkerchief, as the crowd passed by, lifting spirits and building excitement about what Alan’s leadership could bring to the country.
With this monumental gathering, Alan’s Movement for Change has set a new standard, not just for political campaigns but for how citizens envision the future of their nation. The turnout in Accra, following the massive Kumasi march, signals a groundswell of support for Alan and his message of inclusive transformation. As Election Day approaches, the Yellow Army’s numbers and energy continue to rise, making it clear that Alan Kyerematen is not just a candidate - he is the focal point of a nationwide call for renewal, hope, and action.
