Samiu Kwadwo Nuamah, a former member of parliament for the Kwadaso Constituency, claims that the success of the ruling New Patriotic Party in the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections was largely due to the "One District, One Factory" initiative promoted by the former minister of trade and industry, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen.
He claimed in a February 27, 2023 interview on Wontumi TV that while President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-proposal Addo's for the free SHS introduction had no effect on Ghanaians' choice to support the NPP in the 2008 and 2012 elections, Alan's One District, One Factory ultimately contributed to the elephant party's victories in 2016 and 2020.
"In 2008, we ran for office with the theme of free SHS, but we were unsuccessful. We used the identical free SHS messaging in 2012 as well, but we still came up short.
So what occurred in 2016 when Alan Kyerematen spread the 1 District, 1 Factory message? The election was won by us. Well, in case they've forgotten, Alan did that," he remarked.
He went on to say that Alan Kyerematen, who served as trade minister, made a significant contribution to the country's growth and that he is willing to lend his support to the former official as he attempts to 'break the eight' for the party.
On January 10, 2023, the former minister formally announced his desire to run for president in 2024.
On January 10, 2023, speaking to the country just days after leaving the administration, As the NPP formally opens nominations for the role of flagbearer, Alan Kyerematen praised President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and said that he will seek for the job.
Alan Kyerematen contends that a fresh strategy, which he wants to provide, must be implemented in order to guarantee the nation's economic stability.
When given the opportunity as president, he announced this plan, which he referred to as the Great Transformational Plan (GTP) of Ghana, would run from 2025 to 2030.
He stated: "Let me now give a quick overview of the Great Transformational Plan, fellow citizens (GTP). The GTP will be supported by these important pillars:
The success of the GTP will largely depend on a strong macroeconomic environment, which will include, among other things, a stable currency, low inflation, sustainable debt levels, revenue optimization and strict expenditure control to ensure fiscal balance, low competitive interest rates, strong external reserves backed by high levels of liquidity to support the financial sector.
