Ghana’s political stage has witnessed a major shift as three former prominent leaders of the New Patriotic Party, Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen, Boniface Abubakar Saddique and Yaw Buaben Asamoa, officially launched the United Party (UP), a new political party promising unity, renewal and national transformation.
At a ceremony held in Accra on Thursday, Alan Kyerematen described the formation of the United Party as the dawn of a new era and a people’s movement to unite the nation beyond partisan divides.
“Today, we lift Ghana UP, united in purpose, driven by integrity, and committed to prosperity for all,” he declared to loud applause from the crowd.
“This is not just the birth of a party but the beginning of a movement that puts Ghana first.”
A statement copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra on Thursday he said the United Party, which received its provisional certificate from the Electoral Commission on 3rd October 2025, seeks to break the long-standing political duopoly between the NPP and the NDC.

“The UP presents itself as a centrist and inclusive alternative designed to bring together citizens across ideological and social divides under one national vision”.
Outlining the Party’s Vision 2040, known as the “Paradise Project”, Mr. Kyerematen said the UP aims to make Ghana the economic powerhouse of Africa within fifteen years.
He explained that the vision was anchored on his Great Transformational Plan (GTP), which focused on industrialisation, private sector growth, youth employment, debt reduction and good governance.
He stressed that the United Party was for ethical leadership, meritocracy and zero tolerance for corruption.
He added that the Party’s emblem, the Monarch Butterfly, symbolised transformation and resilience, while its colours, yellow, black and white, represented Ghana’s gold wealth, the Black Star of Africa and purity of purpose.
Interim National Chairman Abu-Bakar Saddique Boniface described the formation of the United Party as a return to the nation’s founding ideals of service, liberty and development.
“This is the rebirth of a tradition built on unity and hard work,” he said. “The UP is here to unite our people and build a country that works for everyone.”

Interim General Secretary Yaw Buaben Asamoa said the new movement speaks directly to the millions of Ghanaians who feel left out by the existing political system.
“The United Party is not just another option. It is a new beginning. We are building bridges where others have built walls,” he stated.
He added that the UP will champion constitutional and governance reforms that deepen accountability and inclusion, including the creation of a Second Chamber of Governance to give voice to civil society, labour, traditional leaders and faith-based groups.
The launch ended in a wave of enthusiasm as supporters chanted “Ghana is UP,” a slogan that captured the optimism of a people ready for change.
In closing, Alan Kyerematen declared, “The United Party is the people’s party. Together, we will lift Ghana UP, united, prosperous and transformed. God bless our homeland Ghana.”
