Politics
of ethnicity not for me - Nduom
Cape Coast, Dec. 26, Ghanadot/GNA- Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom, the
flagbearer of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) on
Wednesday reiterated his pledge not to engage in ethnic or
“dirty politics” that would bring disgrace to the CPP and
the nation at large.
He said the CPP has turned a new leaf and that he would do
everything possible to rally all its members in a united
front to market the party vigorously to enable it win next
year’s elections.
Dr. Nduom said this when he paid a courtesy call on the
Omanhene of Oguaa traditional area, Osabarima Kwesi Atta II
at his palace in Cape Coast, to announce his election as the
flagbearer and also to seek the Omanhene’s blessings to
enable him realize his dream of becoming the next President
of Ghana.
He further pledged that his party would do clean campaigns
devoid of insults and abusive language and appealed for the
necessary support to enable the party
to win the next year’s election.
Dr. Nduom said the National Democratic Party, (NDC) and New
Patriotic Party (NPP) had played their various parts in the
nation’s democracy and stressed that the time has come for
Ghanaians to give the CPP the chance to contribute its
quota.
Osabarima Atta appreciated Dr. Nduom’s visit and said it
showed that the CPP respected tradition and assured him of
his support.
He told him that the battle has just began and advised
members of the party to come together as a unified body and
evolve strategic plans that would enable it to win next
year’s election.
He also commended Dr. Nduom and his campaign team for not
engaging in dirt politics and urged him to educate his
supporters not to engage in politics of insults and abusive
language, rather they should campaign in a way that would
bring issues to the fore rather than attacking
personalities.
“If you are able to do this Ghanaian would see you to be a
new breed of people who are into clean politics and would
massively vote for the party,” he advised.
Dr Nduom who also called on the Zongo Chief, Alhaji Iddi
Makama, stressed that he would closely work with the Zongo
communities and also asked for his support and prayer.
Among the members who accompanied him were his wife Mrs
Yvonne Nduom, the National Chairman, Mr. Ladi Nylander and
his four children.
