The Electoral Commission will, on Monday, present a final registration certificate to the newly-formed United Front Party (UFP) to mandate it to fully operate as a political party in Ghana. The party, founded by Mr. Akwasi Addai, also known as ‘Odike’ in business circles, after his enterprise, Odike Ventures, was formed last year and currently working with a provisional certificate by the EC. Mr. Samuel Bekoe Owusu, national communications officer of the party, who disclosed this to the Ghanaian Times in an interview in Accra on Sunday, said with the registration certificate, the UFP, which he claimed, had become the fastest growing political party in Ghana, would embark on a nation-wide campaign tour to canvass for votes from the masses. Mr. Owusu, a political science graduate from the University of Ghana and former secretary of a political group, ‘Friends of Akufo-Addo’ said all was set for the party, which had “Empowerment and Freedom” as its motto, to take off. “The ground is now fertile for the UFP to rope in disillusioned eligible voters, as well as despondent floating voters who are said to be disappointed in both the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and National Democratic Congress (NDC)”, he said. According to Mr. Owusu, all political structures had been put in place to boost the chances of the party to wrest power from the Atta Mills-led NDC government. He said the UFP has come to ensure an effective socio-economic transformation in the country and implored the youth, farmers, and business community, from which the party draws inspiration, to switch allegiance under its political portability concept, to ensure an effective socio-economic transformation. He called on the electorate to discard the two major political parties, namely, the ruling NDC and the main opposition party, the NPP, for disappointing Ghanaians with bad economic policies. The founder said both the NPP and NDC had failed Ghanaians miserably, for which the electorate should reject them. According to him, unfulfilled promises, high unemployment rate, bad economic policies, anarchy and total lawlessness, were major features of the Atta Mills’ NDC administration, saying it was “a recipe for Ghanaians to reject the Mills government”. He said the huge disenchantment of the Ghanaian electorate with the ruling NDC, called for a change of Ghana’s first gentleman, Prof. John Evans Atta Mills. Taking a swipe at the NPP, Mr. Addai, who aspires to lead his party in the 2012 election, said the previous Kufuor-led administration was a grotesque failure, and that the NPP should not be voted back to power to once again mismanage the economy, as it happened in its eight-year-regime. On his chances of emerging flag-bearer of the party he founded in 2010, Mr. Addai said even though there was a good number of strong political figures in the race, the huge popularity he enjoyed from party delegates stood him in good stead to claim the top notch as flag-bearer of the new party. Mr. Addai, a dynamic, energetic and resourceful successful business man, said major support he had garnered from his interactions with potential delegates on his campaign tour, convinced him that the vast majority of the youth in the country, who command a big chunk of the voting populace and an overflowing number of voters in Ghana, wanted him elected as Ghana’s next president. “If I am elected to Ghana’s highest office to become Ghana’s next president, I would lead Ghanaians to the promised land, where milk and honey will continually flow like in the biblical times,” he assured.
