A Coalition of Independent Presidential Aspirants (CIPA) is poised to change history and deliver to Ghanaians better accountability, better citizen-centered management of its economy and resources, and a long-term agenda that secures 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,” a release issued in Accra said.
Members of the CIPA) are Mr Kofi Koranteng, a Ghanaian investment banker and real estate investor; Mr Samuel Ofori Ampofo, a retired Ghanaian mechanical engineer, farmer and rural banker; Marricke Kofi Gane, an international development expert, lecturer and chartered certified accountant; Mr Carl Ebo Morgan, a businessman, political scientist and project Management consultant; and Onipayde Ossom Teye, a businessman and welder.
“It 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,” the team said.
According to the release, the presidential campaigns of the various Independent Aspirants reached a consensus that the best approach to fight for the survival of Ghana and dispose of the NDC and NPP, was 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,” it said
It added that, “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 seems selfish and greedy and unconcerned about the citizens and the need to plan for posterity.
The team of independent presidential aspirants stressed the need to position Ghana to present a better future for generations.
“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 restore Ghana's dignity in all sectors of the nation, primarily, agriculture to a high level of modernisation, competitive advantage and productivity; attractive farming communities with basic roads and amenities to attract the youth and a pragmatic and superior educational system linked to job creation for our graduates.
They would also pursue public and private financial capital investment in the Youth such as scholarships and student loans; boost-in loans for small and medium scale businesses and come out with a first class Health care that delivers improved life expectancy as in developed countries and environmental sanitation second to none with 99.9 percent control of the mosquito breeding and malaria in 3 years.
According to the release the team assures Ghanaians of banning open gutters and making underground sewage systems standard throughout Ghana.
It would also reduce the size of Government by 50 per cent or more, cut the colonial allowance systems, and balance the Ghana government budget within three years and deal with corruption in the most cross-cutting, efficient and ruthless manner within the confines of law.

Pat Aquah...you are right...the npp n ndc are the same,they are just there to cover each others back. The CIPA idea is super great news. It is the only salvation for the sinking image of Ghana. The news might be let in relation to the upcoming Election....but is a job that needs to be done now. NPP NDC is taking Ghanaians for a ride... noting will change positively in the life of the nation if we keep on tolerating the two specialist scammers. The record of both partys stinks and makes me want to visit....they always move 2 steps forward and 10 steps back. Partys filled with criminal minded individuals.
Why has this wonderfull ideas from (CIPA) been presented to the ghanaian public only 6 months to elections? Can CIPA do much to remove the strategic foundations of both NPP and NDC Gurus? I doubt! Maybe not this elections but rather wait for the next 2024 and the eralier CIPA starts the better. Its overdue to uproot this idea of two traditional parties governing the country, either NPP or NDC. Its not helping the country to move forward of fighting poverty and helping to improve the standard of ghanaians. Both NPP and NDC have the same political philosophy, the same corrutption strategies , same selfisch ***barred word*** and sharing.So NPP and NDc politicians are covering each other and protecting each. Ghanaians will be excited to see a new cordinated political party such as CIPA, rather than always the same sermon from NPP and NDC. CIPA do your home work well and mobalise the masses and there will be hope for ghanaians.
Good for democracy but to be honest CIPA will just waste its money and will not get anywhere.
