Independent Presidential candidate in the 2012 presidential elections, Jacob Osei Yeboah has said he will join a political party coalition should the smaller parties agree to join forces.

Mr. Osei Yeboah who has declared his intention to contest the November polls as an independent candidate argued that a single political party cannot effectively govern the nation.

“Once I see two, three, four political parties coming together, I will join that coalition. I just believe that no single parties like the NDC or the NPP can actually help our nation,” he said during an interview on Radio Ghana.

The founder and leader of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP), Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom announced in February that he was scouting for political parties to help him form a coalition to win the 2016 elections.

But he bemoaned the posturing of the political parties he had approached to join forces with him.

Mr. Osei Yeboah, blamed his failure to perform creditably in the 2012 elections to the machinations of the NDC and the NPP.

According to him, politics in Ghana now hinges on personal interests “and people have a lot of interests which is why you will see a member of a political party speaking in favour of another political party because they serve his interest.”

He stated that among his reasons for contesting in November polls is that all governments under the fourth republic have abused the rule of law; a situation which must be corrected to seek the well-being of every citizen.

“There is no respect for the law and it is always applied to the weak…Ghana has become a country of the survival of the fittest,” he complained.

“Politics of insult is not part of rule of law, lying and injustice are all not part of rule of law…in this country, we don’t respect the rule of law and I will change that,” he added.
