"I am certain to contest the Adenta parliamentary election in 2028 on the ticket of the United Party," he wrote.

Hopeson Adorye's political journey
Hopeson Adorye was a former activist of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and served as the party's 2020 parliamentary candidate for Kpone-Katamanso.
However, prior to the 2024 elections, Hopeson Adorye fell out with the party following their 2023 presidential primary, where his candidate failed to secure the mandate of the NPP delegates.
Alan Kyerematen was a key figure in the NPP and served as Minister of Trade and Industry under President Akufo-Addo from 2017 to 2023.
He had previously held the same role under President John Agyekum Kufuor from 2001 to 2007.
After the 2023 flagbearer race, Kyerematen left the NPP to form the Movement for Change, together with Hopeson Adorye and a host of other disgruntled members.
Hopeson Adorye currently serves as the Director of Field Operations for the UP.
