Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Founder and leader of the National Interest Movement, Dr. Abu Sakara Foster, has stated that the alliance with Alan Kyerematen\u2019s Movement for Change was borne out of a desire for a transformative change in the management of the country.<\/b><\/p>\n

He said the transformative change goes beyond a mere change in political parties, that is, the NPP or NDC, during elections.<\/p>\n

The 2012 presidential candidate for the opposition Convention People\u2019s Party (CPP) noted that the merger was also fueled by an interest in breaking the NPP-NDC duopoly.<\/p>\n

Dr. Abu Sakara made the assertions in an interview programme on Sunday, April 15.<\/p>\n

Responding to what motivated him to merge with the Movement for Change, he said, \u201cFirst of all, we are movements, and we also have the same outlook and the same objective.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to see a transformative change\u2014not just a change, not a change of party, not a change of leadership but a change in terms of getting the quantum leap in development that has eluded us all this while,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo that objective brought us together,\u201d he told Keminni Amanor, host of Hot Issues.<\/p>\n

The leader of the National Interest Movement further underscored the need to constitute a third force to break the duopoly of the two leading political parties, the NPP and the NDC.<\/p>\n

The two parties have, over the last three decades, secured the highest number of votes, allowing them to switch power amongst themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have all been thinking about how we can form a vehicle that will be an alternative to the NDC and NPP and offer us something beyond what they\u2019ve offered us. So that again became a driving force,\u201d said Dr. Sakara Foster, adding that as individuals, members may not have \u201cthe wherewithal\u201d due to the monetization of the electoral process.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is going to take a collective effort of the people who are not on either side but are now in the non-aligned domain to come together rather than contest individually within that domain,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n

Asked why he described Alan Kyeremanten\u2019s announcement of the merger as \u201cpremature,\u201d Dr. Sakara stressed that an April 17 set date for the public unveiling had not been adhered to by certain quarters outside the alliance.<\/p>\n

He explained that \u201cit was premature in the sense that we said we are forming this alliance, this is what it is about and this is what is going to happen; on April 17, we will come out with everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, reports suggest that Alan Kyerematen and Abu Sakara are now presidential and vice-presidential candidates, respectively. This, according to him, was premature as per their intended announcement.<\/p>\n
