Progressive Alliance Party (PAP) has been launched with a call for inclusion toward a better Ghana.
The party believed that it was time to collectively journey toward social and economic justice where no community, individual or voice was left behind.
“This party is founded on the belief that every person—regardless of their background, their economic status, or where they come from—deserves a fair chance at prosperity, dignity, and the right to have their voices heard” Mr Erasmus Oppong Tetteh, the General Secretary of PAP added.
The Launch was on the theme: “Empowering Marginalized Communities for Social and Economic Justice,”
Delivering the welcome address, Mr Tetteh noted that their theme was not just a rallying cry, but deep commitment to those who have been left behind
The party recognize that marginalized communities—whether they are rural, urban, disabled, ethnic minorities, or otherwise—have long faced barriers that limit their access to education, employment, healthcare, and justice.
These communities have been sidelined in our social and economic systems, their struggles ignored by the powers that be and would stand united with a new vision for empowerment, inclusion, and fairness.
The Progressive Alliance Party is not just another political entity—it is a movement fueled by a shared conviction that social and economic justice is not a privilege, but a right for all.
It was a movement that seeks to dismantle the structures of inequality and rebuild them with equity and fairness at their core.
He called on the party to advocate for policies that prioritize the needs of the most vulnerable, amplify the voices of those silenced by systemic oppression, and ensure that economic growth benefits every citizen—not just the privileged few.
The General Secretary mentioned that the party would champion education, healthcare, sustainable livelihoods, and equitable opportunities for all.
Also they would systematically remove all barriers that excluded the vulnerable from the opportunities, resources, and recognition they deserve.

These communities have been sidelined in our social and economic systems, their struggles ignored by the powers that be. But today, we stand united with a new vision: a vision of empowerment, inclusion, and fairness.

He reminded the party on the challenges ahead and encouraged them to be committed to help create the society where empowerment is not just an ideal, but a tangible reality for all.
Mt Tetteh called on authorities, NGOs and philanthropists to collaborate to uplift the marginalized, to heal the wounds of injustice, and to build a society where every individual, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to thrive.
The party is part of activities by the UNIMAC school to help students embrace themselves with political communication.
It was graced by Mr Desmond Lamptey, Lecturer, UNIMAC, Mr Blessing Oppong, a Political activist among other dignitaries.
