In a significant display of support for Alan Kyerematen and the Afrafranto Movement, the Offinsomanhene, Nana Dwamena Akenten II, has given a resounding endorsement of Mr Kyerematen’s presidential bid.

Speaking at his palace in the Offinso South Constituency of the Ashanti Region, the revered traditional leader likened the role of Alan Kyerematen to the process of pollination, stating that just as the butterfly enables the fruit-bearing process, Mr Kyerematen’s leadership will cause Ghana to flourish.

The Offinsomanhene admitted that, at first, he was puzzled by Alan Kyerematen's decision to adopt the butterfly as his symbol. "Initially, I didn’t understand why Alan chose the butterfly. I thought it was a curious choice," he revealed. However, he shared that he had an epiphany after giving it deep thought one night. "As I lay on my bed, I realised that it was actually the best symbol Alan could have chosen for his Movement," Nana Dwamena Akenten II disclosed.

In an intriguing explanation to his sub-chiefs, who had gathered at his palace to hear the revered chief's words, Nana Dwamena Akenten II turned scientific, comparing Mr Kyerematen’s leadership to the butterfly's critical role in nature. “For any plant to bear fruit, it needs a butterfly to complete the process. The butterfly transfers pollen from one plant to another, enabling it to bear fruit,” the chief explained. "Without the butterfly, the plant remains barren," he added.

Drawing on this analogy, the Offinsomanhene declared that Ghana, like a plant waiting to bear fruit, needs Alan Kyerematen to complete its transformation process. “When I thought deeply about this, I realized that for everything to bear fruit, the butterfly must be responsible. In the same way, when Alan comes, Ghana will bear fruit," he declared.

The endorsement of Nana Dwamena Akenten II adds another powerful voice from the Ashanti Region, a key political stronghold, to Alan Kyerematen's growing support among traditional leaders.
The chief's comparison of Alan Kyerematen to the butterfly – a symbol of transformation and growth, is not only apt but resonates with the Afrafranto Movement's Great Transformational Plan (GTP). This plan aims to rejuvenate the Ghanaian economy, tackle corruption, and create opportunities for the youth.

Mr. Kyerematen, currently on a 19-day tour of the Ashanti Region, expressed his deep gratitude for the endorsement, recognizing the significance of support from influential traditional leaders. "For a chief like Nana Dwamena Akenten II, who is well-respected in the Ashanti Region, to understand and align with my vision is an honour. It reinforces that our message of transformation is resonating with Ghanaians from all walks of life," Mr. Kyerematen remarked.

The Offinsomanhene’s endorsement follows a series of similar backing from prominent chiefs across the country, emphasizing Alan Kyerematen’s deep respect for traditional authorities and his promise to involve them in his governance. Under his Great Transformational Plan, Mr. Kyerematen has pledged to make chiefs co-trustees of lands and other natural resources, creating a partnership between the government and traditional leaders that has never been seen before.

As the December 7 polls approach, the endorsement of Nana Dwamena Akenten II is expected to further boost Mr Kyerematen’s popularity, particularly in the Ashanti Region, as traditional authorities play a crucial role in shaping public opinion. With chiefs increasingly throwing their weight behind his campaign, the momentum behind the Afrafranto Movement continues to grow stronger.
