Ghanaians National Alliance calls for unification of independent candidates

Accra, Aug.12, GNA- The Ghanaians National Alliance, a public advocacy group, has appealed to all independent candidates to come together and elect one leader to contest the 2024 General Election.

The group made the case that the independent candidates did not have the individual numbers to break the duopoly of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

In an interview with the Ghana News Agency, Mr Akwa Obodai, Public Relations Officer for the Ghanaians National Alliance, and the Osagyefo Youth Movement, said the group needed an “alternative consensus candidate” to appeal to voters.

He said under the current political regime, it would be difficult for the independent candidates seeking to contest the upcoming presidential elections to pull the required number of votes to become President.

Mr Obodai said although evidence abounds on the failures of the NPP and the NDC in meeting the expectations of voters, the two parties continued to pull numbers due to the absence of a formidable third force to break the jinx.
