On Sunday, April 14, 2024, TV3’s Hot Issues hosted a discussion featuring Dr. Michael Abu Sakara Forster of the National Interest Movement (NIM).
During the show, various topics were explored, including the electoral alliance between the Movement for Change and National Interest Movement, the objectives of the Alliance for Revolutionary Change, the importance of a bipartisan development agenda, and the upcoming 2024 elections.
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. He pointed out a recent survey by Global InfoAnalytics, which showed significant support for independent candidates like Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen, who is part of the Alliance for Revolutionary Change with Dr. Abu Sakara.
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.
