It noted that since its formation in the past 10 years it had been focusing to bring change in the country’s democratic governance because the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) had disappointed Ghanaians with their system of governance.

“The PPP will be marking its 10 anniversary since its formation in 2012, with key focus on rallying our members, supporters, sympathisers, well-wishers, faithful and those disappointed in the two main political parties for victory in the upcoming elections to transform our governance structure,” it pledged.

A statement issued by Kofi Mantey, the Director of Communications of PPP, said the anniversary celebration would be on the theme: ‘10 years of progressive focus to bring change in ghana’s democratic governance – The way forward’ and the climax of the anniversary events would be held at Elmina in the Central Region on October 1, 2022.

It said all regional offices of the party were expected to hold various activities to commemorate the anniversary celebration and it was looking forward to bringing together all progressive members, supporters and sympathisers from across the length and breadth of the country and diasporan branches.
