The United Love Party (ULP) is a political party in Ghana. It was formed in 2008.[2]
The founder and leader of the party at its inception was Ramon Osei Akoto. This was to support his bid to stand as a presidential candidate in the 2008 Ghanaian general election. He failed to make it onto the ballot.[3] Four years later, Akoto was again the presidential candidate but once more failed to register with the Electoral Commission of Ghana for the 2012 Ghanaian general election.[4]
Some policies
During a rally in 2011, Akoto suggested that Ghana should break away from international organisations such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank and the United Nations (UN). [5] At a news conference in 2011, Akoto threatened to sue the President of Ghana and the Ministry of Health for allowing the H1N1 vaccine into the country.[6] Akoto also criticised the Ministry of Agriculture for introducing genetically modified seeds into the country as he believed it posed a danger to health.[7] Akoto also pledged the providing of uninterrupted electricity in the country, free utilities and the creation of millions of high paying jobs within four years.[4]
Alliance
The ULP announced that it would be going into an alliance with the leading opposition party at the time, the National Democratic Congress for the 2016 Ghanaian general election.[8]
