The Progressive Alliance for Ghana is a political party in Ghana.
History
The party was formed to forward the ideas of Kwame Nkrumah, the first President of Ghana. A group of Ghanaians in North America came together to form the Concerned Nkrumahists of North America (CNNA). It initially set about trying to unite the various parties in Ghana who followed Nkrumah's ideology. The parties include the Convention People's Party (CPP), the People's National Convention (PNC) and the Progressive People's Party (PPP). After these efforts failed, they decided to form their own party. In 2018, in association with the Social Justice Movement of Ghana (SJMG), they decided to start a political party to promote Nkrumah's ideas. Other grassroots Nkrumah organisations were also involved.{{cite web |title=2024 Polls: New political party emerges, to be launched on July 1 - Media Without Borders |url=https://mwbonline.org/2024-polls-new-political-party-emerges-to-be-launched-on-july-1/ |website=mwbonline.org |publisher=Media Without Borders |access-date=16 September 2024 |date=21 April 2024}} They announced that they would be inaugurating the party on 1 July 2024 at Cape Coast.{{cite web |title=Progressive Alliance of Ghana(PAG) Policy Brief on the Structure and Size of Government |url=https://www.modernghana.com/news/1311307/progressive-alliance-of-ghanapag-policy-brief.html |website=modernghana.com |access-date=16 September 2024 |date=10 May 2024}}
