The newly rebranded United Party, led by former Trade and Industry Minister Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen, has firmly rejected suggestions that members who broke away from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) could be granted “amnesty” to return to their former political home.
Speaking at a charged party gathering, the National Chairman of the United Party, Mr Siddique, dismissed the proposal as both unnecessary and insulting to their movement.
“We were sacked from the NPP, but now they want to grant us amnesty? We will not go back,” he declared to loud cheers from supporters.

He argued that the NPP had no moral basis to offer forgiveness since, according to him, neither he nor Mr Kyerematen committed any wrongdoing to justify their expulsion.
“We were sacked. But today they claim they are giving us amnesty. What does ‘amnesty’ mean? What crime did our leader commit? What crime did I commit in the NPP for you to sack me? And today you are telling me you are giving me amnesty. No way,” he stressed.
Using an analogy from Islamic marriage practices, Siddique emphasised that their split from the NPP was permanent.
“When you divorce a woman three times in Islam, she’s no longer your wife until kingdom come,” he told the crowd, drawing loud applause.
Alan Kyerematen resigned from the NPP in 2023, citing what he described as unfair treatment and lack of transparency in the party’s internal leadership processes. He went on to form the Movement for Change, which has since been rebranded as the United Party as part of his strategy to contest future elections independently.
The rejection of the NPP’s amnesty proposal underscores the deep political rift between the ruling party and Kyerematen’s faction as the country edges closer to the 2028 general elections.
