Samuel Apea-Danquah, the flagbearer of the Yellow Ghana, has clarified the distinction between his party’s colour and that of the Movement for Change.
This clarification comes in light of the confusion over the choice of colour between the Yellow Ghana and the Movement for Change, with Alan Kyerematen as the flagbearer.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, June 13, Apea-Danquah explained that the colour yellow has been associated with his party since he contested the 2020 parliamentary elections
“We have observed that our use of the colour yellow has caused some confusion among the general public. To clarify, Yellow Ghana is not a recent creation. Established in 2020 by Samuel Apea Danquah, it began as a movement for change within our political landscape.
“In 2020, Samuel Apea-Danquah ran as a parliamentary candidate for Ablekuma Central under the Yellow Ghana Movement. Evidence of this can be found in the 2020 poll notices, campaign posters, campaign trail activities, flyer distribution, and a parliamentary debate hosted by the NCCE and moderated by Roland Walker of TV3 and Serwaa Amihere of GHOne TV.
“By 2022, Samuel Apea-Danquah and his team initiated the process of formally registering Yellow Ghana as a political party. This involved drafting a constitution, appointing key regional leaders, and developing an advanced online platform to recruit members nationwide.”
Apea-Danquah stated that he launched his presidential campaign under Yellow Ghana before Mr. Alan Kyeremanten resigned from the NPP and started his Movement for Change on September 25, 2023.
He described the confusion associated with the colour scheme as “regrettable.”
“On May 30th, 2024, the Electoral Commission granted Yellow Ghana its provisional certificate, reflecting our diligent grassroots mobilization efforts. The confusion with Mr. Alan Kyerematen’s Movement for Change and its associated colour scheme is regrettable and detracts from the remarkable policies in Yellow Ghana’s manifesto, which our flag bearer has been promoting during media tours.
“Samuel Apea-Danquah launched his presidential campaign under Yellow Ghana well before Mr. Alan Kyeremanten resigned from the NPP and started his Movement for Change on September 25th, 2023. Our campaign has been conducting free health screenings since September 1st, 2023, using our distinctive yellow tents in Accra Central, Circle (Kwame Nkrumah Interchange), Kasoa, and Kaneshie First Light.”
