Dr. Abu Sakara Foster expressed his views on President Akufo-Addo’s legacy, stating that the current administration has not met the expectations of Ghanaians. Despite acknowledging some positive aspects of the government’s performance, such as the Free SHS policy, Dr. Abu Sakara emphasized that the economic conditions indicate a need for higher achievements.
Furthermore, Dr. Abu Sakara highlighted the potential growth in numbers of non-aligned movements in the upcoming 2024 elections.

Discussing the qualities of Alan Kyerematen, Dr. Abu Sakara praised the former Trade and Industry Minister for his experience and credibility, stating that he brings valuable attributes to the political landscape. He emphasized the importance of forming a government of national unity that includes members from various political backgrounds for the betterment of Ghana.
The merger between the National Interest Movement and Movement for Change was driven by the shared objective of transformative change in the country’s governance. Dr. Abu Sakara emphasized the need to break the long-standing duopoly of the NPP and NDC, advocating for a third force to bring about positive change in Ghanaian politics.
