The Inside Story: How the SDP was founded

On March 26, 2022, history was made with the founding of a social democratic political group on the campus of the Ghana Institute of Journalism, GIJ.

The well-attended event took place on GIJ’s North Dzorwulu campus as delegates voted crucially to determine the political ideology and settle on an official name for the party.

“Socialism,” emerged the political ideology of choice after an open ballot superintended by an interim election officer. Whiles the Socialist Development Party, SDP; was chosen as the official name.

The interim leadership, chaired by the elections chief, also constituted a multi-layered research team to agree on other critical party identification mechanisms such as the logo, colours, motto, leadership structure and constitution.

An novel process to elect leaders online has been activated and outcome will be made public in the coming days.

SDP’s goal remains to positively impact on the GIJ political landscape whiles promoting the core ideals of democracy to champion equality as a vehicle to social progress.
