Her call comes as part of the Movement for Change’s caravan campaign tour, which recently launched with a focus on garnering support from the country’s trading community, whom Alan has long championed throughout his career.
Following the tour’s launch, Mrs. Kyerematen took time to speak with the media, emphasizing her husband’s unwavering dedication to Ghana’s trading sector.

Mrs. Kyerematen went on to highlight that Alan Kyerematen’s commitment to traders is not simply a campaign promise; it reflects a lifetime of work and a genuine empathy for their struggles and ambitions. She explained that Alan’s years of experience as a trade expert and public servant have given him a deep understanding of the economic realities faced by traders. From market vendors and small business owners to large-scale traders, she said, Alan has consistently advocated for policies aimed at uplifting those within the trading community, ensuring their prosperity and stability.

In her appeal, Mrs. Kyerematen touched on Alan’s notable achievements in the field of trade and commerce. She noted that, through his work with the Ghana Export Promotion Authority and his tenure as Minister of Trade and Industry, Alan has made strides in creating economic opportunities for Ghanaians, with a particular focus on empowering traders. His policies, she explained, have always been geared toward fostering an environment where the trading community can thrive, contributing not only to individual livelihoods but also to the national economy.
Furthermore, she highlighted how Alan Kyerematen’s vision for the country includes specific initiatives aimed at the development of markets and trading hubs, as well as programs designed to improve the accessibility of financial resources for small business owners. She shared examples of his plans to streamline regulatory processes, making it easier for traders to conduct business and expand their operations. Mrs. Kyerematen stressed that Alan’s leadership would bring a renewed focus on economic policies that directly benefit traders, from market infrastructure improvements to policies that protect small businesses against economic volatility.
Mrs. Kyerematen’s appeal to the trading community was more than a call to vote; it was a message of solidarity and partnership. She conveyed that Alan Kyerematen views traders as essential stakeholders in the country’s economy and as partners in a shared vision for a prosperous Ghana.
