Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen’s Movement for Change has transitioned into United Party (UP), a newly launched political entity in the country.
The rebranding, which draws on the historical significance of the United Party name, seeks to promote accountability, economic advancement, and inclusive leadership.
At the launch event, party chairman Abubakar Saddique Boniface outlined the vision behind the UP, describing it as a revitalized force for transformation.
“Today, we present to you the United Party or UP Plus. We can call it 2.0 Plus. We were telling you, and I believe ourselves, that this party has come to resurrect the old bones in the agent who knows much about UP. 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 declared on Thursday, October 16, 2025.
For his part, founder and leader of the United Party, Alan Kyerematen, described the rebrand as a pivotal moment in Ghanaian politics.
He emphasized that the UP will not engage in divisive politics but will instead prioritize national development.
“Ghanaian politics. By offering Ghanaians a credible alternative, it can eliminate the culture of winner-takes-all. 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.”
He further stated, “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,” Mr. Kyerematen said.
