Born into the Nkrumah-Egala-Limann tradition, Hassan Ayariga's political journey began when he joined the People's National Convention (PNC) in 2002. The PNC, a political party formed by Dr. Hilla Limann in 1992 after the ban on party politics in Ghana was lifted, provided him with a platform to express his political convictions. His leadership qualities were quickly recognized, and he was elected chairman of the PNC's Germany (Koln) Chapter.
In the presidential primaries of the PNC for the 2016 general election, Hassan Ayariga faced defeat to Edward Mahama, whom he had previously beaten to become the presidential candidate in 2012. Citing anomalies and cheating, he made the bold decision to leave the PNC and establish a new political party, the All People’s Congress (APC), in 2016. The Electoral Commission of Ghana granted the APC a provisional certificate after meeting the requisite requirements, and the party was later issued a final certificate.
Hassan Ayariga's personal life reflects his commitment to family and education. He is married to Anita Ayariga, a graduate from KNUST who shares his deep passion for child education.
