The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has dismissed suggestions that it is threatened by the formation of the newly rebranded United Party (UP Plus), led by former Trade Minister Alan Kyerematen, insisting it is neither concerned nor attempting to reconcile with defectors. Speaking on The Big Issue on Channel One TV on Saturday, October 18, NPP’s Director of Communications, Richard Ahiagbah, firmly stated that the ruling party has no reason to be alarmed by UP Plus or its centrist agenda. “I don’t think there is anything for the NPP to be worried about,” Ahiagbah said. “They say they have formed a…
The United Party (UP Plus) says it is building a sustainable political force that will outlast Ghana’s short-lived third-party experiments by focusing on two key national priorities: economic revival and constitutional reform. Speaking on Channel One TV’s The Big Issue on Saturday, the party’s General Secretary, Yaw Buaben Asamoa, said UP Plus is offering more than just political ambition — it is laying the groundwork for long-term change that directly addresses the structural challenges that have stalled Ghana’s development under successive NPP and NDC administrations. “We have two paths for sustainability,” Buaben Asamoa said. “For those who think we are…

According to Ahiagbah, while UP Plus may have chosen a historically significant name, its principles and self-described centrist ideology do…
Host of Good Evening Ghana, Paul Adom-Otchere, has questioned the relevance of the newly launched United Party (UP Plus), arguing that the political alternative it claims to represent already exists in the form of Ghana’s two dominant parties—the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC). Speaking on The Big Issue on Channel One TV on Saturday, October 18, Adom-Otchere said the Ghanaian electorate already views the NPP and NDC as the main contenders for political power, and any new party seeking to present itself as a viable third option must overcome deeply rooted political loyalties and established…

Mr Edudzi Tameklo Private legal practitioner and Chief Executive of the National Petroleum Authority, Godwin Edudzi Tameklo, says the High Court should not entertain the latest judicial review application by the former Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo.

Legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has expressed mixed feelings about the removal of former Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo, stating that while he agrees with the grounds for her removal, President John Dramani Mahama’s failure to give reasons for the decision weakens the credibility of the process. “The fact that the removal is correct does not mean everything is correct. The fact that we support her removal does not mean we support everything willingly. I support the grounds for her removal. I support the failure to give her reasons for the removal is wrong,” he said during an interview on TV3. His…
