‘Support new leadership to restore ideals of CPP’
The Interim National Council of the Convention Peoples Party (CPP) has urged the rank and file of the party to put its trust in the new leadership and support it to restore the ideals of the party.
According to the council, it stood in readiness to operate in a very fair and transparent manner with all members as part of measures to rebuild the CPP and break it away from the dominance of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
A statement issued in Accra last Friday and signed by the spokesperson of the council, Dr Akwasi Bosompem Boateng, said the interim council had been legitimately established by the NEC, which was the second highest decision making body after the National Delegates Congress.
It said the council was an entirely legitimate body created by NEC to steer affairs of the party in the short term.
“The interim council is made up of selected regional chairmen, Secretaries, organisers, women organisers, youth organisers, council of elders and other members representing various organs of the party all of whom were appointed and approved by NEC,” it said.
The statement therefore called upon the rank and file of the CPP to put their fate and trust in the decisions that the interim council would be taking.
“These responsibilities would be executed with a sense of fairness and urgency as well as an unwavering commitment to the party,” it emphasised.
The statement said decisions taken and positions offered shall be in line with ideals of the party which brought independence to Ghana.
It said Nkrumah’s policies were entirely different and the only alternative to the failed NPP and NDC sakawa scam on the suffering people of Ghana.
“Only the CPP can rescue the fortunes of this nation”.
At a recent NEC meeting of the party held on December 5, 2023 in Kumasi, a decision was taken to exit the entire leadership of the party and an Interim Council constituted to steer the affairs of the party.
Following the decision eight of the National Executives voluntarily resigned with the exception of National Chairperson.
This led the NEC to resort to the legal cause in removing her from office.
