Yellow Ghana, a dynamic political movement said to be dedicated to addressing the numerous challenges facing the nation, has been officially recognized by Ghana’s Electoral Commission.
Established in October 2020, Yellow Ghana aims to unify the African continent into a seamless, borderless economy. The movement received its provisional certificate from the Commission on May 30, 2024, 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.
An independent presidential aspirant and interim leader of Yellow Ghana, Samuel Apea-Danquah, shared this milestone on Facebook, highlighting the significance of this achievement 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!.”
It’s been over 2 years of hard work mobilising people at the grassroots across 256 constituencies in Ghana! As Dr Kwame Nkrumah said, “Organization is everything!” We are on course to win this election.”
Mr Apea-Danquah is reported to have told Myjoyonline.com that this process “Effectively makes us a political party and allows us to rally like-minded Ghanaians from all over the country. We have now transitioned from Yellow Ghana – the movement to Yellow Ghana – the political party.”
Samuel Apea-Danquah expressed heartfelt gratitude to all who contributed to this milestone and vowed to collaborate with members, executives, and citizens to foster improvements benefiting the entire nation.
He extended an open invitation to citizens interested in party positions, including parliamentary roles, to apply, emphasizing Yellow Ghana’s commitment to leadership, equality, and prosperity for all.
In preparation for the 2024 elections, Yellow Ghana has been actively engaging in various initiatives, including the launch of its manifesto, to build a better future for all Ghanaians.
“Yellow Ghana has been carrying out free health screening since September 2023 in Accra, Kasoa, Kaneshie and Circle. We have also been engaging with people at the grassroots level all over the country. We just recently outdoored our 330-page manifesto as well.
Asked whether he believed they could make inroads considering the posture of the majority of the voting populace towards other minor parties aside from the two known parties, the NDC and NPP, Mr Samuel Apea-Danquah retorted “As Dr Kwame Nkrumah said, organisation determines everything. We believe that with a strong message, a decentralised political platform and the passion to transform Ghana, we shall succeed.”
Yellow Ghana, with the slogan “Freedom, Justice, and Prosperity,” is dedicated to holding leaders accountable, ensuring the prosperity of all citizens, and upholding the principle of equality for everyone, regardless of race, origin, religion, or political and social affiliations.
