God will give me strength to break NPP-NDC duopoly – Alan Kyeremanten

Alan Kyeremanten, founder and leader of the United Party (UP), has expressed his intention to break the political monopoly held by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Ghana. Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Kyeremanten believes that God will provide him with the strength and determination to succeed in this endeavor and bring a new political alternative to the people of Ghana.

Kyeremanten notes that the NPP and NDC have been the dominant political force in the country since 1992, yet Ghana continues to grapple with significant developmental issues. He believes that the way these two parties have governed the nation has been a contributing factor to ongoing challenges in areas such as infrastructure, utilities, and healthcare.

He questions why, after three decades of alternating governments between the NPP and NDC, Ghana has not seen substantial progress. To put things into perspective, Kyeremanten draws a comparison with China, which underwent significant transformation in a similar timeframe, implying that Ghana should also be able to achieve such progress with a different political approach.

The UP leader’s objective is clear: to provide Ghanaians with an alternative political vehicle to pursue a distinct development path. He maintains that relying solely on the NPP and NDC would hinder Ghana from achieving a "new Ghana." His political agenda is centered around the well-being of Ghana rather than partisan interests, and his political motto, "Ghana First," reflects this belief in prioritizing national interests over party affiliations.

Kyeremanten appeals to Ghanaians who share his vision to support the UP in building the party ahead of the 2028 elections. He acknowledges that he cannot accomplish this task alone and requires the backing of individuals who believe that Ghana can do better under an alternative political framework. He emphasizes that the 2028 elections will be a crucial opportunity for Ghanaians to decide whether they are prepared to consider an alternative to the dominant NPP-NDC parties that have shaped the country's political landscape.

Kyeremanten reiterates his resolve to challenge the NPP-NDC duopoly, stating his trust in God's strength to support him in his mission.
