"The New Force states unequivocally that any claims, publications, or activities suggesting such an association are inaccurate and must be disregarded," the press release read.

The movement traced its position back to its founding principles, stating it has functioned independently since inception, guided by a vision centred on a united, prosperous and transformational Ghana built on principled leadership, innovation and integrity.

Beyond rejecting the association, the movement used the statement to address how it communicates with the public.

It called on citizens, stakeholders and media organisations to consult only its verified and sanctioned platforms for information, warning that content circulating outside those channels should not be taken as representative of the movement's positions.

The New Force further reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and accountability, framing its core mission around citizen empowerment and national development.

The statement concluded with a pledge to uphold the standards of leadership it says will inspire a better Ghana.
