A Coalition of Independent Presidential Aspirants (CIPA) in Ghana has decided to join forces to unseat the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) from government in the upcoming General Elections.
According to CIPA, their mission is to present to Ghanaians a coalition of Ghanaian leaders in their own fields, with global expertise, and to let the citizenry know they have the concern and skillset to unseat and replace the entrenched political NDC and NPP parties in the upcoming Presidential Election.
“With corruption at its peak, debts at excessive levels and an economy that is only functional on paper but NOT in the pockets of ordinary Ghanaians, and with the natural wealth of Ghana being exploited and exported without corresponding improvements in the standards of living year after year for Ghanaian masses - it is time, for the status quo to be replaced. The time for change is NOW!!”, a statement from the coalition has emphasized.
CIPA insists their sole aim is to fight for Ghana's second and final independence from the clutches of the main opposition party and the ruling NPP government in the 2020 elections.
In line with that, each of the aspirants has pledged to consolidate efforts with a unified Presidential candidate, to win the Presidency in 2020.
The goal of CIPA in the next few months is to show Ghanaians their national vision to restore Ghana's dignity in all sectors of the nation including Agriculture, Education, small and medium scale businesses, Health care, Environmental sanitation, etc.

INDEPENDENT PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRANTS UNIFY TO UNSEAT NDC-NPP FOR 2020 ELECTIONS
Press Release
Accra, Ghana – May 29, 2020
For Immediate Release
A Coalition of Independent Presidential Aspirants (CIPA) in Ghana have announced their intention to form a united front to change the course of our history and deliver to Ghanaians better Accountability, better Citizen-centred Management of its economy and resources, and a long-term agenda that secures the future of Ghana's posterity.
The mission is to present to Ghanaians a coalition of Ghanaian leaders in their own fields, with global expertise, and let our people know we have the concern and skillset to unseat and replace the entrenched political NDC and NPP parties in the upcoming Presidential Election.
The Coalition of Independent Presidential Aspirants (CIPA) is made up of the list below at the time of Press, and it is our hope that others who share the vision will see the need to join forces with us for the greater good of God and Country:
1. KOFI KORANTENG - A Ghanaian Investment Banker and Real Estate Investor of International repute.
2. SAMUEL OFORI AMPOFO - a retired Ghanaian Mechanical Engineer, Farmer and Rural Banker.
3. MARRICKE KOFI GANE - an International Development Expert, Lecturer and Chartered Certified Accountant.
4. CARL EBO MORGAN - a Businessman, Political Scientist and Project Management Consultant with International experience.
5. ONIPAYEDE OSSOM TEYE - a Businessman and Welder.
The Presidential Campaigns of the various Independent Aspirants have reached this position via consensus - a consensus that the best approach to fight for the survival of Ghana and dispose of the NDC and NPP, is to unite behind a single campaign agenda.
There is a general realization and acceptance in the nation that Ghana is at the crossroads of a leadership crisis and that Ghana as we knew it as an independent nation may not survive under the heavy foreign debt burden, lack of payback plan, and lack of transparency. Neither of the two major political party leadership cares enough to understand the real needs of the ordinary people. They do not seem fully cognizant of the era we are in and about the youth and their struggles for survival. The leadership seem selfish and greedy and unconcerned about the citizens and the need to plan for posterity.
There is an urgent need to position Ghana in a manner that is a blessing to present and future generations.
With corruption at its peak, debts at excessive levels and an economy that is only functional on paper but NOT in the pockets of ordinary Ghanaians, and with the natural wealth of Ghana being exploited and exported without corresponding improvements in the standards of living year after year for Ghanaian masses - it is time, for the status quo to be replaced. The time for change is NOW!!
The Coalition of Independent Presidential Aspirants (CIPA) have one goal in mind - TO FIGHT FOR GHANA'S SECOND AND FINAL INDEPENDENCE from the clutches of the NDC and NPP in the 2020 elections.
Each of these aspirants is pledged to consolidating efforts with a unified Presidential candidate, to win the Presidency in 2020. Their GOAL in the next few months is to show Ghanaians our national vision to restore Ghana's dignity in all sectors of our nation, primarily:

Attractive farming communities with basic roads and amenities to attract the youth.
A pragmatic and superior Educational system linked to job creation for our graduates.
