The party contested the 2016 Ghanaian general election but failed to win a single seat.[2] Prior to that election, Addai Odike had been suspended for breaching the party's constitution in appointing his own son as the acting General Secretary.
In March 2019, he was sacked from the party due to ongoing differences.[3] Odike managed to become the party's nominee to stand for president in the 2020 Ghanaian general election.[4] He complained during the week candidates were submitting their forms to the Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC) that various people including the EC and some New Patriotic Party officials were preventing him from registering.[5] Although he managed to file his nomination papers on schedule, he was disqualified from contesting the 2020 election by the Electoral Commission because his documents were not satisfactory. Odike expressed surprise and indicated that he was going to contest the decision.[6]
