CPP is only party to bring economic prosperity – Nduom
Koforidua, Jan. 21, Ghandot/GNA - Dr Paa
Kwasi Nduom, Convention Peoples Party (CPP), presidential
candidate, on Monday said the only party that could bring
economic prosperity to the country was CPP and therefore
called on the electorate to vote for it to solve the
country’s economic problems.
Dr Nduom said this when he addressed market women and
members of the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU )
in Koforidua as part of his campaign tour to the Eastern
Region to introduce himself to stake holders who mattered in
the area and to outline his vision to them and seek their
mandate.
He said the first president of Ghana, Dr Kwame Nkrumah
established factories in all the 10 regions in the country
aimed at providing employment to the people, adding that
today none of those factories were in operation, which had
resulted in mass unemployment.
Dr Nduom noted that both the opposition National Democratic
Congress (NDC) and the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) had
tasted power and had done what they could do to the nation,
therefore it was time to bring the CPP to power to continue
the good works that Dr Nkrumah did for Ghana.
He said the CPP believed in the private sector and would
provide all the necessary support to business owners to
expand their businesses to provide employment to the
thousands of unemployed youth.
Dr Ndoum said the party was now becoming attractive, in that
people were now applying to contest for the various
parliamentary seats on the party’s ticket unlike the
previous years when they had to beg people to contest.
He said all their members who deserted the party to join
other parties were now coming back because they had realized
that there was something good that the party could offer, if
given the mandate to rule.
Dr Nduom said the CPP would retain all the three
parliamentary seats they were occupying now even if the New
Patriotic Party decided to field candidates in those
constituencies including his own Komenda Edina Eguafo Abirem
seat.
He urged supporters of the party to register when the
voters’ register was re-opened in March and also to
encourage other people to register because that was the only
way the party could wrest power from the NPP.
Dr Ndoum promised to conduct a clean campaign devoid of
insults, acrimony and rancour and urged other parties also
to do the same to make this year’s election one of the best.
