The newly formed United Party, also known as UP Plus, says it is on a mission to unite the best minds from across Ghana’s political divide to offer a credible, competent, and inclusive alternative to the governing duopoly of the NPP and NDC.
Speaking on Channel One Newsroom on Thursday, October 16, the party’s Director of Communications, Solomon Owusu, said UP Plus aims to tap into talents from across the political spectrum and civil society to create a truly representative government.
“It signifies a party that is ready to depose the duopoly that has led this country into its worst ebb,” Owusu stated.
“We have been treated to misgovernance by the NPP and the NDC, and the majority of Ghanaians want to see a change.”
He stressed that the party’s goal is not just to win power, but to offer a new model of leadership that draws on the best of Ghana.
“If you want to see change, then you must bring something that reassures people that you are ready to offer that change. That is why we are united. United seeks to bring the best from all the political parties together to govern this country—take the best from the NPP, the best from the NDC, the CPP, civil society, farmers, professionals—to build a better Ghana,” he added.
The comments come on the heels of the official unveiling of UP Plus, the rebranded identity of Alan Kyerematen’s Movement for Change.
At the party’s launch earlier this month, Chairman Abubakar Saddique Boniface said UP Plus is committed to transformational leadership, grounded in competence and integrity. Party leader Alan Kyerematen described the rebrand as a “new dawn” in Ghanaian politics, focused on economic transformation, transparency, and inclusive governance.
UP Plus received its official registration certificate from the Electoral Commission on October 3, 2025, and is positioning itself as a third-force alternative in the run-up to the 2028 general elections.
