Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen’s Movement for Change has officially rebranded, adopting the name United Party.

The rebranding, announced at a ceremony in Accra on Thursday, marks a new chapter for the former Trade and Industry Minister’s political ambition to contest Ghana’s highest office outside the traditional two-party system.

“Today, we present to you the United Party or UP Plus.  The UP Plus is a political organisation meant to bring real change to governance.

“We will make a difference because of our focus on universal values and respect for the leadership of competence. We are not just taking people to lead us, but people who are credible, competent, and have a vision,” he stated.

"The vision of the United Party is to make Ghana the economic powerhouse of Africa by 2040," Alan Kyerematen, Leader, United Party.

Alan Kyerematen, who resigned from the NPP in 2023, cited unfair treatment and internal divisions within the governing party as his reasons for breaking away.

He subsequently launched the Movement for Change, campaigning on the symbol of a butterfly and calling for what he described as a “transformational leadership agenda.”

 “A new dawn that will bring about economic transformation, which will translate into massive job opportunities, usher in a golden age of business, and create prosperity for our country, Ghana.

“A new dawn that will mobilise the collective strengths and talents of all Ghanaians for national development, irrespective of age, ethnicity, religion, or political affiliation.

“A new dawn that will promote accountable and transparent governance and introduce a policy of zero tolerance for corruption. A new dawn that will at least protect the environment and promote sustainable development. Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, this is what underpins the establishment of the United Party,” he said.
