No

Explanation:

There are four fundamental froces in our universe:
Gravitational force
Electromagnetic force
Strong nuclear force
weak nuclear force

These forces are all different and therefore they can't be the same

Gravity is quite strongly coupled to electromagnetism.

Explanation:

The theory of General Relativity is quite bizarre. Electromagnetism is clearly a force propagated by the photon. Gravity is not a force.

Gravity is not a force, even though it behaves like a force. Gravity is the result of energy curving the structure of spacetime. The nearer you get to a large mass the slower time passes. This affects light in that it causes a red shift due to the time dilation causing the frequency to decrease.

So, as gravity is not a force, it can't be an electromagnetic force. It does however have strong effects due to its effects on time. Gravity causes light to bend and to change frequency.
