Yellow Ghana, a dynamic political movement has officially been recognized by Ghana’s Electoral Commission.
Founded in October 2020, Yellow Ghana seeks to unify the African continent into a seamless, borderless economy. On May 30, 2024, the movement received its provisional certificate from the Commission in Accra.
This recognition, granted under Section 8 (2) of the Political Parties Act 2000 (ACT 574), allows Yellow Ghana to organize as a political party in accordance with Ghana’s electoral laws, paving the way for full certification.
Samuel Apea-Danquah, an independent presidential aspirant and interim leader of Yellow Ghana, celebrated this milestone on Facebook, underscoring its significance for the movement.
“Today, the EC issued our provisional certificate – Yellow Ghana (YG) is now a political party! No one person can do this alone – the vision must be borne by as many of us as possible; it mustn’t die with one man. Together, we can save this country!.”
A Manifesto for Progress
Mr Samuel Apea-Danquah’s comprehensive 330-page manifesto outlines a transformative plan to revolutionize Ghana through common-sense reforms and full digitalization of the Ghanaian economy.
The manifesto includes initiatives to drive development and create wealth through a revolution in jobs, technology, and infrastructure. It covers critical areas such as governance, justice, labour, social welfare, education, land and natural resources, finance, procurement, commerce, human capital, safety and security, utilities, and infrastructure.
Speaking after the release of the manifesto, Mr Apea-Danquah said, “Inspired by the Parable of the Talents, I believe Ghana is our portion to nurture and develop, and we must account for our stewardship. I urge the youth of Ghana to join me in this transformative journey, taking inspiration from Dr Kwame Nkrumah, who, at 42 and with no prior government experience, led our nation to independence. It is time to save Ghana. It is possible to save Ghana, but it requires the support of every Ghanaian. Together, we can change the fortunes of our beloved country.”
