The United Party (UP), led by Alan Kyerematen, has expressed support for ongoing discussions to merge with Kennedy Agyapong’s Base Movement, describing the move as a step toward building a formidable third political force in Ghana.
Speaking on the issue via a zoom interview on Kessben Maakye show in Accra, UP Communications Director Solomon Owusu said conversations are ongoing, although questions remain over who would lead the merged movement if an agreement is reached.
He stressed that despite differences in leadership styles, both Alan Kyerematen and Kennedy Agyapong share the common vision of putting “Ghana First.”
According to Owusu, many Ghanaians have become disillusioned with both the NDC and NPP, making it necessary to establish a strong third force capable of offering a credible alternative.
He argued that while the two major parties often campaign on manifesto promises that prove difficult to achieve, UP has a clear policy direction through its Ghana Transformation Plan (GTP).
Owusu also maintained that the role of government is to create an enabling environment for businesses to thrive rather than directly running businesses.
He further criticized Joseph Osei Yeboah, accusing him of making irresponsible comments and saying such conduct should not be encouraged in Ghana’s political landscape.
