The presidential aspirant of the Alliance for Revolutionary Change (ARC), Mr. John Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, has officially named Mr. Elijah Kwame Owusu Danso, host of Good Morning Africa on Pan African TV as his running mate for election 2024.

Mr. Kyerematen announced on Wednesday, September 11, 2024, when he presented his nomination papers to the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Mrs. Jean Adukwei Mensah at the headquarters of the electoral management body in Accra.

The presidential aspirant of ARC’s selection of Mr. Owusu Danso highlights a leadership team committed to addressing the aspirations of Ghanaians, with a focus on improving living standards, creating fair opportunities, and fostering inclusive prosperity.

Mr. Owusu Danso is recognized as a dynamic figure with a wide-ranging background in corporate management, law, broadcast journalism, music, and civil society activism. Known for his advocacy on behalf of the voiceless and his commitment to quality governance, he is regarded as a youth icon who brings fresh energy to the political scene.

Throughout his career, Kwame has collaborated with respected professionals such as Dr. Lloyd Amoah of the University of Ghana, Dr. Kojo Asante, and Dr. Franklin Oduro of the Centre for Democratic Development (CDD).

His involvement in civil society includes founding the Forum for Accountable Governance (FAG), an organization focused on anti-corruption, public financial management reform, electoral reform, and environmental governance, while also promoting human rights and accountability in government.

Mr. Owusu Danso is also known for his work as the host of “Good Morning Africa,” a Pan-African talk show that reaches a global audience with a message of African-led governance reform. His previous experience with TV3 and his Pan-Africanist ideals have further amplified his voice across the diaspora, advocating for mindset change and Africa-centered development.

Beyond his political and activist roles, Kwame has excelled in the corporate world, holding executive positions at Airtel Ghana and Trasacco Group. He is also proud of his past as a hip-life rapper, known by the stage name E-Nice, and was part of the musical group Echo, which won the 2008 Ghana edition of the Nescafe African Revelation competition. His hit singles “Gologolo” and “Shikome” remain memorable tracks from that era.

Described as a lawyer, broadcaster, political activist, Pan-Africanist, corporate strategist, and musician, E-KOD sees himself primarily as an advocate for youth rights.
