  The CPP Era (Nkrumah, 1957–1966):
  
  Kwame Nkrumah, through the CPP, championed independence, pan-Africanism, and major development projects.
  
  But the UP (Danquah-Busia tradition) opposed many of his policies.
  
  The 1966 coup, supported by sections of the military and external forces, ended his vision prematurely.
  
  
  
  2. The Rawlings/NDC Era (1981–2000, later 2009–2016):
  
  Jerry Rawlings rose first through military intervention, then transitioned into democracy, founding the NDC, which carried elements of Nkrumah’s socialist vision.
  
  The NDC positioned itself as the inheritor of CPP’s legacy.
  
  
  
  3. The UP/NPP Tradition (Busia, Kufuor, Akufo-Addo):
  
  Rooted in the Danquah-Busia political tradition, the NPP sees itself as liberal-democratic, market-oriented, and the opposite of Nkrumahist socialism.
  
  Whenever in power, the NPP reframes or abandons NDC-led projects.
  
  
  
  4. The Cycle:
  
  Each party spends years undoing the other’s work instead of building on it.
  
  This creates developmental instability — a kind of “reset button” every 8 years.
  
  
  
  
  The Big Question:
  
  > Should Ghana “hand over” to the Danquah tradition (NPP) again after NDC has reset?
  
  
  
  That’s really a question of trust and lessons learned:
  
  If history is “repeating,” then Ghana risks another cycle of dismantling and rebuilding.
  
  If Ghanaians want continuity and stability, they might prefer sticking with one tradition long enough for policies to mature.
  
  But if the ruling party becomes complacent or corrupt, voters often swing to the opposition as a form of checks and balances.
  
  The deeper issue may not just be who governs (NDC or NPP), but whether Ghana can break the cycle by demanding:
  
  National development consensus (projects that no party destroys just because it’s “not theirs”).
  
  Accountability without vendetta (holding governments responsible, but not erasing progress).
  
  A long-term vision beyond 8-year cycles.
  
  
  So the real challenge is: Will Ghanaians continue the cycle of reversal, or demand collaboration across traditions for the sake of the nation’s future?

  Ghana’s Political Cycle: CPP/NDC vs. UP/NPP Tradition
  
  Era   CPP / Nkrumahist Line (later NDC)  v.  UP / Danquah-Busia Line (later NPP)
  
  1957–1966   Kwame Nkrumah (CPP) – Independence, pan-Africanism, socialism, state-led development. Overthrown in 1966 coup.    Danquah-Busia Tradition (UP) – Opposed Nkrumah’s one-party rule, championed liberal democracy and private enterprise. Supported by sections of military against Nkrumah.
  
  1966–1981   CPP remnants suppressed. Ghana under military regimes (NLC, NRC, SMC).  Busia (Prime Minister, 1969–1972, Progress Party, part of UP tradition) – short-lived government overthrown in 1972.
  
  1981–2000   Rawlings (PNDC → NDC) – initially military rule, later multi-party democracy. NDC inherits much of CPP’s populist/socialist policies. Rawlings hands over in 2000. 
  Opposition reorganizes as NPP – rooted in UP tradition.
  2001–2008   NDC in opposition.      John Kufuor (NPP) – economic liberalization, HIPC debt relief, infrastructure, but many NDC policies abandoned.
  
  2009–2016   John Atta Mills / John Mahama (NDC) – social interventions (e.g., free school feeding expansion, health insurance reforms), infrastructural projects. Opposition NPP criticizes corruption, builds momentum.
  
  2017–2024   NDC in opposition.      Nana Akufo-Addo (NPP) – flagship policy “Free SHS,” but cancels, reviews, or repackages several NDC projects. Critics accuse NPP of dismantling NDC legacies.
  
  2025 → ?    NDC returns to power (Mahama) – promising to “reset the system,” restore projects, and rebuild what NPP dismantled.     
  
  Question: Should Ghana cycle back to NPP after NDC finishes? Or break the cycle?
  
  
  The Pattern
  
  1. CPP/NDC builds → UP/NPP dismantles.
  
  
  2. UP/NPP builds differently → CPP/NDC dismantles or resets.
  
  
  3. Ghana struggles to sustain a 40–50 year uninterrupted development path like Malaysia, Singapore, or South Korea.
  
  
  The Big Decision for Ghana
  
  If Ghana hands over again to NPP after NDC’s reset: history suggests another cycle of dismantling.
  
  If Ghana keeps NDC (or one tradition long-term): possible continuity, but risks complacency and corruption without strong checks.
  
  If Ghana forces bipartisan consensus: major national projects (education, health, energy, infrastructure) could survive party changes.

  For us to be seen as serious humans, we have to stop begging and structure ourselves properly. After years of independent, we are still searching for something else as if we have lost our way in an endless desert.

  Now, by way of ORAL, NDC is prosecuting some suspected NPP officials.
  ● As both NPP and NDC are filled with corruption, which of the two political parties qualifies 100% to send a nominee to the UN Security Council?

  And what will that do for Africans when the USA always has a veto power in that council? You surely can't be serious about Africans being respected when you allow Trump to dump his deportees in Ghana and you then lie to the people of Ghana that there's no agreement, only a Memorandum of Understanding. If that UN body is truly independent, then the President of the USA would not have the authority to be denying entry visas to political leaders who who have been invited to attend UN sessions in New York city.
