A leading member of the Movement for Change, Solomon Owusu, has predicted the collapse of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) by the end of 2026.
According to Mr. Owusu, who is a former member of the NPP, the internal happenings and current trajectory of the party suggest it is on the path to crash.
Speaking on Woezor TV’s The Platform show on Friday, June 20, he linked the alleged looming collapse to the exit of former Trade Minister, Alan Kyerematen.
“Some of us thought the party would collapse eventually, but not to this extent or at the pace they’ve decided to fast-track it. Believe you me, by this time next year, you’ll give me my stone. They’ve really collapsed,” Mr. Owusu stated.
He added that the Movement for Change is already preparing to fill the gap as a political alternative for disgruntled NPP members.
“Let your listeners everywhere bear in mind that the movement is metamorphosing into a political party for reflection. Very soon, we’ll come out fully. It’s divinely crafted. We never thought the NPP would collapse this fast, but they have — and at least, there’s some respite,” he said.
He further urged NPP members who have lost hope in their party not to despair, as the Movement for Change is positioning itself as their new political home.
“They should not worry at all. It’s the reason why God is bringing our movement to become a political party so they can come,” he noted.
Meanwhile, the NPP has scheduled January 31, 2026, to elect its flagbearer ahead of the 2028 general elections.
