CPP to elect flagbearer on September 4

The Convention People’s Party, CPP has scheduled September 4, 2024 for congress to elect a flagbearer for the December 7 elections.

This was after the party mended internal cracks seen to be a bane for its forward movement.

Currently, two persons, the National Chairman of the party, Akosua Sarpong Kumankuma and a Historian, Yaw Anokye Frimpong have filed to go through the process after being cleared by the vetting committee of the red cockerel party.

A third candidate, Ivor Kwabena Greenstreet failed to pick forms to contest even though he had earlier expressed interest in the position.

The congress has been decentralized and will take place in all 16 regional capitals.

Results from the congress will be sent to a centralised office at the party’s headquarters for final collation and onward declaration.

The Nkrumaist party is racing against time to meet the Electoral Commission’s deadline of filing for their candidature.

Critics have however, attributed the delay in going for congress to disunity in the party.

The CPP until recently has been plagued by internal wrangling causing some national executives in the likes of Nana Yaa Akyempim Jantua and others to resign from positions they were elected to hold in the party.

But the party’s election committee believes that all cracks have been mended and remain solid enough to go into the December elections.
