Prosperity Vision Party launched to challenge Ghana’s political duopoly – MyJoyOnline

The Prosperity Vision Party (PVP) has been launched at the University of Media, Arts, and Communication (UniMAC – IJ), marking the beginning of a journey to liberate Ghana from the long-standing political duopoly.

The launch saw many party members and supporters in high spirits, singing the party song to inspire hope for prosperity.

The event was graced by journalist Kwaku Asante, who served as the guest speaker.

In his address, Kwaku Asante bemoaned the leadership crisis Ghana faces due to the duopoly of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

He noted that their actions over the years have trapped Ghanaians in a vicious cycle of poverty, while the political elite amass wealth, carve up state resources among themselves, and treat governance as a business venture rather than a public service.

Kwaku Asante commended the leadership of the Prosperity Vision Party for boldly breaking away from the grip of the duopoly and establishing PVP.

He endorsed the PVP and advised that, in presenting itself as a viable alternative committed to building a just, equitable, and self-sufficient Ghana, the party must move beyond rhetoric and demonstrate a concrete commitment to radical change.

“First, it must prioritise strategic state intervention in key sectors like agriculture, industry, and technology to reduce dependence on foreign imports and create real employment. Ghana has no business importing basic foodstuffs when it has vast arable land.

Second, the PVP must ensure inclusive governance by actively involving grassroots communities in decision-making and eliminating the culture of winner-takes-all politics. Leadership should not be about personal enrichment but about service to the people.

Finally, the party must champion progressive policies that address systemic inequalities. This means ensuring that the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes, investing in quality public services, and putting an end to the looting of state assets.

The NDC and NPP have failed Ghana, and their continued dominance spells more of the same. If the Prosperity Vision Party is to be a true force for change, it must not fall into the same traps of political greed and cronyism. The people of Ghana are watching, and they deserve better,” he said.

Co-founder of PVP, Angela Bamford, described the launch as the beginning of a movement for dreamers who believe in a Ghana where everyone has a seat at the table.

The party’s slogan, “Obiara w) mu bi”, is a call for collective responsibility in advancing a Ghana where prosperity is not reserved for a select few but is accessible to all, regardless of their affiliations.

“We founded the Prosperity Vision Party because no one should have to wait for opportunity. Everyone has a share—Obiara w) mu bi—and that’s not just a slogan; it’s a promise.

Today marks the birth of a party built on three pillars: vision, prosperity, and unity. Let me break that down:

Vision—because we refuse to accept a future where students graduate into unemployment, where corruption strangles progress, or where your environment determines your destiny.

Prosperity—not just wealth, but access to healthcare, education, and the tools to thrive.

Unity—because, like the broom in our logo, we are stronger together. Alone, a single stick snaps, but bound as one, we sweep away inequality, corruption, and the idea that ‘some’ matter more than ‘all.’

Our colours tell this story too. Royal blue represents the trust we will earn through action. Gold signifies the brighter future we will build. White stands for the transparency we demand from leaders.

This isn’t about left or right—it’s about moving forward, guided by inclusive principles that put people first,” she said.

The Prosperity Vision Party’s vision is to build a prosperous and united Ghana, where strong leadership ensures economic growth, fairness, and equal opportunities for all citizens.

Its mission is to build a strong and self-sufficient Ghana through industrialization, entrepreneurship, and strategic investment, while promoting inclusive economic growth by creating opportunities for businesses and individuals.

The party is also committed to good governance, transparency, and accountability, upholding social justice and national stability, empowering communities through sustainable development and financial inclusion, and fostering a future of peace, stability, and prosperity for all citizens.

The Prosperity Vision Party calls on all Ghanaians to trust in its vision, mission, and policies to free the nation from its current struggles and lead it towards abundance, success, and security.
