The Base Movement (TBM) has officially launched a triple-asset package at its national headquarters in Tesano, Accra. The launch, which coincided with Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Day and the 117th birthday of Ghana's first President, Dr. Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah, featured the unveiling of the TBM Online Radio Studio, a new website, and the TBM Administrative Structures and Operations Manual.
Addressing a gathering of members, youth activists, and diaspora supporters, the National Coordinating Committee (NCC) described the event as a significant moment for the movement. The speech, read by Mr. Jacob Osei Yeboah, who is also described as the political architect of the movement and head of its National Coordinating Committee, coincided with the commemoration of Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Day.
Mr. Yeboah declared that the gathering in Tesano was not merely to inaugurate a studio but also to launch a powerful platform for what he termed "absolute truth", alongside a strengthened digital presence for the movement. According to Mr. Yeboah, the occasion marked what he described as the definitive emergence of The Credible Political Alternate Force, which he said has the capacity to address what he considers decades of political decay in Ghana.
Mr. Yeboah argued that, just as Nkrumah led the struggle against colonial rule, The Base Movement had emerged to challenge what he described as economic domination under the two major political parties. He accused the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of operating what he described as a political duopoly, alleging that the two parties had alternated in government while failing to adequately address youth unemployment and other economic challenges.
The assets comprise the Online Radio Studio, which he said would serve as the movement's media platform across TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, and YouTube; the new website, which he described as a global command centre; and the TBM Administrative Procedures and Operations Manual, which he said would serve as an institutional blueprint. On the movement's digital transition, Mr. Yeboah said the NCC had taken steps to address what he described as a technical impasse that followed the July 3 Mega Walk in the Ashanti Region.
Mr. Yeboah said the meeting reached a unanimous decision to render APP A and the .com domain redundant and migrate fully to the APP C platform hosted on the movement's new website. He explained that the new portal includes membership registration for Ghanaians across all 276 constituencies and the diaspora. He also said the movement had extended an offer to the team behind APP A to facilitate the merger of membership data.
On financial transparency, Mr. Yeboah stated that The Base Movement operates on visible justice. He said members could contribute to the movement through debit and credit cards on the website, the USSD short code 415 3475#, or Mobile Money merchant number 059 756 7336. According to him, contributions would be channelled into verified bank accounts and reflected on members' personalised dashboards.
