I will unify CPP – Dr Nduom
Kumasi, Dec. 18, Ghanadot/GNA – Dr Paa Kwesi Nduom,
Flagbearer of Convention People’s Party (CPP), says he would
pursue an all-inclusive policy in restructuring the Party to
make it vibrant and capable of winning Election 2008.
He said the unification of the Party was very necessary for
the advancement of the political ambitions of the CPP and
urged supporters to work hard and to avoid back-biting and
division.
Dr Nduom was speaking to the Ghana News Agency after he had
been handed over the CPP presidential ticket to contest next
year’s election at the Party’s national delegates’ congress
held in Kumasi on Monday.
He polled 1,022 votes out of the total 1,901 ballots cast to
beat his main rival Professor Agyemang-Badu Akosah, who
polled 644 votes.
Mr George Opesika Aggudey, Mr Bright Akwetey, Dr Frederick
Asante Akuffo and Dr Kwaku Osafo also contested for the
flagbearership position.
The Flagbearer said he was currently collaborating with some
well-meaning supporters of the CPP both at home and abroad
to mobilize the necessary funds and resources to improve
upon the Party’s internal structures.
This, he noted, would help to make the Party attractive and
more appealing to the citizenry, especially the youth, for
the strengthening of the CPP’s support base.
Dr Nduom enumerated the pioneering and pivotal role CPP
played in the nation’s development process and said just as
the Party worked tirelessly to gain independence for Ghana
in 1957, “so will he work to eradicate hunger, diseases,
high unemployment rate among the citizenry and indiscipline
in the country if given the mandate in next year’s
elections”.
He was emphatic that the CPP would go solo in Election 2008
and would not merge with any other Party since it had a
different ideology and would always adhere to its
principles.
Dr Nduom appealed to activists and supporters of the Party,
who had become dormant towards CPP’s activities and
programmes due to varied reasons, to come on board to help
to rebuild the Party to win Election 2008.
