CPP in Negotiation for Post in the NDC Gov't
Audrey Micah, Ghanadot

Accra, Jan 18, Ghanadot - President John Evans Atta Mills, as part of his all-inclusive government, has offered opportunity to members of the opposition Convention People’s Party (CPP) to serve in his administration.

Although the party remained neutral in the 2008 presidential runoff, members are currently on negotiating table to nominate competent members to form part of the present administration.

Dr. Kwaku Osafo, a leading member of the CPP, who disclosed this to Ghanadot in a telephone interview, did not, however, give names but was confident that the party's presidential candidate in 2008 general elections, Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom would not be one of the of the yet to be chosen people.

“They are still negotiating on possible positions for regional [ministers], deputy ministers and district chief executives and possibly ministerial position,” Dr. Osafo noted.

Dr. Nduom, who conceded defeat when counting was still underway in the first round of the presidential election, had already served notice that he would not accept any offer from the government, irrespective of being led by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) or the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

He said some executives of the party are at the helm of affairs negotiating on behalf of the CPP and stated emphatically that the party’s nomination would purely be based on merits and nothing more.

To him, “It is more on the basis of peoples’ competence and areas of expertise rather than an offer to members of the executives for anything, and that “It’s picking up some of the best materials that may be needed to supplement the NDC’s government” is what they are after.
