Every Ghanaian Living Everywhere (EGLE) is an inactive political party in terms of elections in Ghana. It has not contested any elections since the 2004 Ghanaian general election.[2][4] According to Ghanaian law, political parties must have a presence in all districts in order to remain registered, but due to lax enforcement, EGLE remains registered as a party as of 2019.[5]
EGLE, led by Owuraku Amofa, contested the 1992 presidential election in an alliance with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) led by Jerry Rawlings. The Progressive Alliance, as it was called, put forward a single candidate for president, Rawlings, and a single vice presidential candidate, Kow Nkensen Arkaah, on 3 November 1992. They won 58.4% of the popular vote[6] and became the first president and vice president of the Fourth Republic of Ghana.
