A leading member of the Movement for Change, Solomon Owusu, has alleged that the New Patriotic Party's decision to grant amnesty to all suspended members was meant to swindle supporters of Alan Kyeremanteng back to the party.

According to him, the release of the NPP's statement on Saturday, August 16, 2025, lends credence to his assertion that the whole idea was purely designed to get followers of the Movement for Change, a splinter group, back into their fold.

Solomon Owusu, who stated this in an interview with Radio Gold, indicated that despite the amnesty granted by the NPP, members of the Movement for Change will not go back to their mother party.

Movement for Change not a political party - Alan Kyerematen clarifies

Affirming the stance of the Movement, he said, "We want to change the dynamics of our body politic that when we say yes, it's yes and when we say no, it's no," indicating their preparedness not to return to the NPP.

Solomon Owusu's comments come in the wake of a recent statement released by the NPP indicating that the party has, in the name of fostering party unity, granted amnesty to all members who are on suspension.

On the NPP's amnesty, he alleged that members of the Movement have sensed a sinister approach being used by the NPP to lure their (Movement's) members back to the NPP to engage in primary work for the leadership of the NPP.

He asked, "Between supporters of Alan Kyeremanten and the NPP, who must give the other amnesty? We are supposed to be giving them amnesty to even be talking to us."

According to him, they (members of the Movement) going back to the NPP will mean that they have fallen into traps set by the NPP.

"Now, this whole release is also to tell Mr Alan Kyeremanten and his supporters that we only need your presence to come and do the baboon jobs in the NPP," He posited.

He expressed the hope that the Movement for Change will soon transition into a full-fledged political party that will contest the next general elections in 2028, with Alan Kyeremanten as its flagbearer.
