The Base Movement (TBM) has said its newly launched organisational and digital structures form part of preparations to propel Kennedy Agyapong “into the light in 2027” and advance the movement’s longer-term 2028 political agenda.
Mr Agyapong, a two-time New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer aspirant who contested the party’s presidential primaries in 2023 and 2026, has been identified by TBM as part of its political plans.
The movement’s Chief Operations Coordinator and head of its National Coordinating Committee (NCC), Jacob Osei Yeboah, who disclosed this, said the movement remained open to people from other political organisations, including supporters associated with Alan Kyerematen’s United Party (UP) and groups aligned with Mr Agyapong.
He said this at the launch of TBM’s online radio platform, new website and administrative and operations manual at the movement’s national headquarters at Tesano, Accra, last Monday.
It coincided with Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Day and the 117th birthday anniversary of Dr Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah, which TBM used to highlight its stated commitment to economic transformation and political change.
Wider support
Mr Yeboah said the organisational work was intended to strengthen TBM’s structures, expand its membership and increase its participation in Ghana’s national policy conversation.
He said TBM’s online membership platform would facilitate the registration of Ghanaians across all 276 constituencies, as well as supporters in the diaspora.
Digital push
Mr Yeboah said the online radio would provide a platform for communicating TBM’s programmes, activities and policy positions to audiences in Ghana and abroad.
He said the movement would expand its digital presence on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X and YouTube, while www.thebasemovement.org.gh would serve as its central digital platform.
The Administrative Structures and Operations Manual, he said, would guide the administration and coordination from the national level through regional, constituency and polling-station structures.
“Our system does not believe in individual dictators but works strictly on committees for collective glory,” he said.
Mr Yeboah said the NCC had consolidated its online operations following technical difficulties after the July 3 Mega Walk in the Ashanti Region.
He said a September 19 meeting involving the APP A and APP C teams, the ICT resolution team, the NCC and board members resulted in a decision to discontinue APP A and the previous .com domain and move operations to APP C on the new website.
He said TBM remained open to merging relevant APP A membership data but warned that the NCC could consider legal options in the UK, US and Australia if it believed membership data was being withheld or used for personal gain.
Political agenda
Mr Yeboah criticised the NPP and the NDC, accusing them of operating a political duopoly that had not delivered the development Ghanaians expected.
He said the Working Ghana Agenda (WGA) would focus on youth employment and support for elderly citizens and pensioners.
