The Director of Research at the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) Dr John Kwakye has asserted that Ghana needs a vibrant third force to eliminate the duopoly of New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

The NPP and the NDC have dominated political power since the inception of the Fourth Republic in 1992.

Although other political parties such as the Convention Peoples Party(CCP), Peoples National Convention (PNC) Prphressive Peoples Party (PPP) and others have participated in elections in the Fourth Republic they have not been able to garner the needed votes to enable them to form a government.

This has led the NPP and NDC to dominate the space at the presidential and parliamentary levels.

In a tweet, Dr John Kwakye described the NPP and the NDC as incompetent parties in the management of the economy.

He said “We need a third force in Ghanaian politics to uproot the incompetent NPP-NDC duopoly.”

We need a third force in Ghanaian politics to uproot the incompetent NPP-NDC duopoly.
