NPP, NDC Members Storm Alan Kyerematen’s UP Ahead of 2028 Elections – Hopeson Adorye Reveals

The United Party (UP) is receiving expressions of interest from individuals affiliated with both the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), according to its Director of Field Operations, Hopeson Adorye.

He disclosed that several members and supporters of the two leading political parties had contacted the UP to indicate their willingness to join the new political movement and potentially contest parliamentary seats under its ticket.

Adorye made the disclosure during an appearance on JoyNews’ AM Show on November 10, 2026, where he discussed the party’s preparations for the 2028 general elections.

“I can tell you that a lot of people are already calling from both sides, from NPP and NDC, that they want to stand as Member of Parliament on the ticket of UP,” he stated.

He also revealed that the UP would adopt a candidate selection process rather than organise competitive parliamentary primaries to determine its flagbearers for constituencies across the country.

According to him, the arrangement is provided for under the party’s constitution and is intended to limit the influence of money in the selection of parliamentary candidates.

He explained that the party’s leadership deliberately settled on the selection-based approach to prevent wealthy aspirants from gaining an unfair advantage over other qualified contenders through financially driven internal elections.

Adorye further indicated that the UP was positioning itself to attract political figures from across the country’s political divide as it prepares to challenge the established parties in the 2028 elections.

The United Party was officially established by Alan Kyerematen on October 16, 2025, following the rebranding of the Movement for Change.
