A former member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Solomon Owusu, has expressed his joy in abandoning the ruling party to join Alan Kyeremanten’s Movement For Change, considering it a significant positive step in his political journey.
Describing the day he officially left the NPP as the happiest in his life, he shared his sentiments during an interview with Okatakyie Afrifa Mensah on Angel Morning Show (AMS) on Tuesday, April 9, 2024.
As a Communications Team member of the Movement For Change, Owusu vividly recalled his departure from the NPP on September 25, 2023, at 2:30 pm, noting it as a momentous occasion akin to the joy of his birth.
He likened his departure to gaining freedom from slavery, emphasizing his newfound enlightenment since leaving the NPP.
Reflecting on his experience, Owusu expressed that sometimes individuals remain in a party merely to honor familial ties, but his departure marked a conscious decision to break free from what he perceived as a cycle of conformity.
He asserted that the NPP had become synonymous with the Nana Addo People’s Party, prompting his departure.
“It is like saying this is the time to come out of a slavery you have been placed under. Sometimes you are in a party just to appease your parents for bringing you up in it, but they were the same people who sent you to school to gain knowledge and see the light, hence in September I decided to part ways with the party. It is the Nana Addo People’s Party and not the New Patriotic Party, so I have left the party. After I left the party, I have seen happiness,” he explained.
