Inusah Fuseini, the former Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, has weighed in on Alan Kyerematen’s rebranding of his Movement for Change into a full-blown political party.
Recall Alan Kyerematen, after the NPP’s primary defeat, left to form the Movement for Change to contest the 2024 general election as an independent candidate.
According to Inusah Fuseini, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) made a tragic mistake in letting Alan Kyerematen leave the party.
He emphasised that if Alan’s United Party grows strong and formidable, that could signal the demise of the NPP.
Inusah Fuseini is quoted by TV3 to have said, The NPP made a tragic mistake by letting Alan Kyerematen leave their party. In my view, if the United Party grows strong and formidable, that will signal the demise of the NPP”.
His comments come on the heels of Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen, who has officially rebranded his Movement for Change to the United Party (UP Plus).
The rebranding was revealed in a ceremony in Accra on Thursday, October 16, 2025, signalled a fresh start and paid tribute to a name of historical significance in Ghanaian politics.
Speaking at the official unveiling of UP Plus, party Chairman Abubakar Saddique Boniface, National Chairman of the United Party (UP), stated, “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.
Alhaji Abubakar Saddique Boniface further rejected the NPP’s amnesty to return to the party.
He stated, “We were sacked from the NPP, but now they want to grant us amnesty? We will not go back”.
“We were sacked. But today they claim they are giving us amnesty. What does amnesty mean? What crime did our leader commit? What crime did I commit in the NPP for you to sack me? And today you are telling me you are giving me amnesty. No way,” he said.
He further drew a comparison to their situation with that of Islamic marriage, “When you divorce a woman three times in Islam, she’s no longer your wife until kingdom come,” he added, amid applause”.
Alan Kyerematen, the Leader of the United Party also stated, “The vision of the United Party is to make Ghana the economic powerhouse of Africa by 2040”.
“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.
Alan Kyerematen, United Party, has also received its registration certificate from the Electoral Commission on October 3, 2025, formally cementing its new identity.
The rebranding marks a new chapter for the former Trade and Industry Minister’s political ambition as he seeks to end the dominance of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
