CPP is more attractive to voters now - Nduom
Agona Swedru, Jan. 28, Ghanadot/GNA - Dr
Paa Kwesi Nduom, presidential candidate of the Convention
People Party (CPP), has stated that the party had been
revitalized to make it more attractive and viable to its
supporters and floating voters.
He said the CPP of today was entirely different from what it
was in 2000 and 2004, adding that, frantic efforts were
being made to make it friendly for the youth to accept.
Dr Nduom was speaking when he paid courtesy calls on the
chiefs and elders of the Agona Nyakrom Traditional Area and
the Swedruhene, Nana Ogidigram Aseidu Kobina Botwe II, as
part of his tour of the Central Region.
“The CPP is poised to wrestle power from the Ruling New
Patriotic Party (NPP) because Ghanaians have tasted both the
National Democratic Congress (NDC) and NPP rule and will opt
for CPP in the December general election,” he said.
Dr Nduom noted that industries and companies established
under the first President, Dr Kwame Nkrumah, which created
jobs and wealth for Ghanaians had collapsed and gave the
assurance that the new CPP would revive them.
He stressed that the only problem facing the youth today was
unemployment and told the chiefs and the people of Agona
Nyakrom and Swedru that the issue would be resolved to
reduce the economic hardship of the people.
The presidential candidate promised that the party would
conduct a clean campaign devoid of insults and character
assassination to ensure peaceful elections.
Nana Botwe said CPP was not a new political party in the
country and urged the leaders to adopt new methods to revive
the fortunes of the party.
He urged the presidential candidate to promote unity and
cooperation among the members to improve its structures at
the grassroots.
Nana Kwesi Akufo, Omankrado of Nyakrom Traditional Area,
said the CPP was the only political party that could create
jobs for the people, especially the youth because it had
done it before.
Dr Nduom also visited Swedru Central Market and addressed a
mini rally at the Swedru Main Lorry Park.
The tour also took Dr Nduom and his entourage to Awutu
Ofankor, Kasoa Market and Mankessim in the Mfantseman
District where Mr K T Dadzie was introduced as the party’s
parliamentary candidate for the Mfantseman West
constituency.
