They are the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Progressive People’s Party (PPP) and the People’s Nation­al Convention (PNC).

According to the parties, they were poised and resolute to join forces to make them formidable and attrac­tive to the electorates to break the political duopoly of the NPP and the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Nana Ofori Owusu, the National Chairman of the PPP, hinted and stated that there was the need for the Nkrumaist parties to unite to prosecute the 2024 general elections with one accord to wrestle power from the NPP.

“The Nkrumaist political par­ties are parties that believe in the ideologies and principles of Ghana’s first President, Dr Kwame Nkrumah and the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is not a reliable alternative because of how abysmally the governing New Patri­otic Party has managed the affairs of the country under the leadership of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

“The NPP/NDC will not take Ghanaians anywhere and it is only the Nkrumaist parties that has the track record of driving the country’s industrialisation agenda as evidenced in the First Republic and we are poised and resolute to continue the agenda in order to make the econo­my resilient against internal and ex­ternal shocks,” Nana Owusu posited.

The Electoral Commission (EC) has revoked the certificates of 17 political parties, excluding the three Nkrumaist parties, who have no regional and national presence and flouting the laws establishing them, Political Parties Act 2000 (Act 574).
