Alan Kyerematen, a presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has stated that Ghana requires a leader who reflects the Christian religion in order to achieve major progress in its development process.
According to him, the country does not want a president who is only a Christian by name, but rather someone who is prepared to govern in the manner of Jesus Christ, the Lord and Saviour of Christians.
Speaking at the Parliament Chapel International (PCI’Mpaebo )’s Kesie’ prayer session on Wednesday, June 28, 2023, Mr Kyeremateng stated that it was for this reason that he launched his presidential campaign with an appeal to all Christian leaders in Ghana.
“When I was starting (my presidential bid) I called all the church leaders for a breakfast meeting. After that, I also did a Thanksgiving service.
“…I did this because I have come to realize that Ghana needs not just a Christian leader but a Christ-like leader. There is a difference between a Christian leader and a Christ-like leader,” he said.
Mr Kyerematen threw light on the qualities that make one a Christlike Leader. A transformational leader, a servant leader, a compassionate leader, a Shepherd leader, and an ethical leader are what Alan terms Christlike Leadership.
Mr Kyeremateng, a former minister of trade and industry, therefore, asked the founder and leader of the Parliament Chapel International, Prophet Amoako Attah, to pray for him so that he would become a Christ-like leader.
Mr Kyerematen was in the company of Nana Ohene-Ntow, Hon Yaw Buaben Asamoa, Hon Adomako Kissie, Hon Frank Agyekum, and a host of others.
He also thanked the pastor for his prayers and support for his presidential bid.
