Prioritizing Competence Over Ethnicity and Religion in the 2024 Elections

The Round-Table Dialogue (RTD), a prominent social purpose think-tank, has issued a rallying call for smaller political parties and independent aspirants to unite as a formidable third force in the upcoming December general elections.

According to the RTD, this consolidation is the only viable way to present voters with a credible alternative to the dominant New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Speaking at a press briefing, Dr. Ofosu Baako, the Secretary of RTD, emphasized the critical need for this coalition.

“To resist and overcome oppressors’ rule, we desire one consensus presidential candidate who will contest the December 7, 2024 elections against the NPP and NDC candidates.”

Dr. Ofosu Baako, the Secretary of RTD

Dr. Baako further advocated for a unified approach at the parliamentary level, proposing that a single consensus parliamentary candidate be fielded in each constituency to challenge the candidates from the NPP and NDC.

Dr. Baako highlighted the dissatisfaction among the electorate with the governance of the past three decades, as evidenced by the rise of various political organizations and independent aspirants This widespread discontent underscores the need for a unified third force that can offer a genuine alternative to the status quo.

The RTD already made significant strides towards this goal, with 14 groups signing a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate in providing an alternative for Ghanaians in the upcoming elections.

Dr. Baako urged all like-minded individuals and organizations to join forces with the RTD, sharing their resources, skills, and strengths to achieve victory in both parliamentary and presidential races. “If you genuinely believe there must be an alternative to the NPP and NDC, sit with us at the round table and dialogue,” he appealed.

Proven Strategy for Success

Explo Nani-Kofi, the Chairman of RTD, elaborated on the strategic framework for this coalition. He pointed out that the idea of smaller parties coming together is not untested.

“In the 2020 parliamentary elections, the strategy was implemented in two successive elections in South Dayi, and it worked,” Nani-Kofi stated. The success of this local-level experiment has emboldened the RTD to scale up the approach to the national level, aiming to replicate this success across Ghana.

The RTD’s call for unity among smaller political entities and independent candidates is not just a theoretical exercise; it is a practical strategy rooted in recent political experiments.

The successful implementation in South Dayi serves as a proof of concept that a united front can indeed challenge the entrenched political duopoly of the NPP and NDC. This historical precedent provides a solid foundation for the RTD’s current efforts and fuels optimism about their potential impact on the December elections.

The RTD’s initiative is more than just a political maneuver; it represents a broader movement toward inclusive and participatory governance. By bringing together diverse political voices under a single banner, the RTD aims to galvanize public support and channel widespread dissatisfaction into a coherent and powerful political force.

This approach not only enhances the chances of electoral success but also fosters a sense of collective ownership and responsibility among the participating entities and their supporters.

As the December general elections draw closer, the RTD’s call for a unified third force is gaining traction. The next few months will be crucial in determining whether this coalition can effectively mobilize resources, coordinate efforts, and present a compelling alternative to the Ghanaian electorate.

If successful, the RTD’s initiative could mark a significant shift in Ghana’s political landscape, challenging the long-standing dominance of the NPP and NDC and offering voters a genuine choice for change.
