Aspirants will be treated
fairly - W/R CPP
Takoradi, Oct. 13, Ghanadot/GNA - The Western Regional
Steering Committee of the Convention People's Party (CPP) on
Saturday assured all the six presidential aspirants that it
would remain neutral and deal fairly with each of them in
the interest of party unity.
Mr. Samuel Gordon Etroo, Regional Chairman of the party,
told the Ghana News Agency on telephone that at no time had
members of the committee met to declare their support either
collectively or individually for any of the aspirants.
He was reacting to reports that the regional steering
committee had declared its support for one of the aspirants.
Mr. Etroo described the reports as "wicked lies" calculated
to foment trouble and to divide the ranks of CPP supporters
and sympathisers.
He said all the aspirants were patriotic and competent
enough to lead the party and deserved equal opportunity in
their endeavours to wrestle political power from the New
Patriotic Party.
Mr. Joseph Kofi Boadi, Regional Administrative Secretary
of the party, said the party was planning fund raising
activities to organise delegates' conference to elect
officers in the remaining seven constituencies in the
region.
He said the regional steering committee had been giving
equal opportunities to the aspirants who visit the region to
campaign and advised CPP supporters to be wary of detractors
who wanted to sew seeds of discord among them.
