The Convention People’s Party (CPP) has announced that it intends to elect a flagbearer by August 2024, just six months before the 2024 general election.
Despite the delay, the party has maintained its resolve to field a flagbearer in the next elections. On June 3, 2024, the CPP began meeting with its regional executives to audit the constituency album.
Moses Yirimambo Ambing, Coordinator for the National Organisational Committee, told the reporters at the party’s headquarters that the party will have enough of time to campaign and win the December elections.
“Yes, it is justified that we are late in the calendar, but you see, history also tells another story that barely four months, we were able to reorganise ourselves to even win an election. But it is not like we are not doing anything.
“What we are doing is data and research-driven. So, as we speak, we know the areas to hit, we know where the numbers are. We have done the work. So we are not sleeping. We have potential candidates in the constituencies who are working.
“So even though we are late, we know that by August we are going to have a flagbearer to lead the CPP into the Flagstaff house.”
Meanwhile, the CPP also indicated that it is hoping that its former general secretary, Nana Yaa Jantuah, will join its campaign ahead of the polls, as well as taking measures to unite the party ahead of the elections.
“In fact, she did not resign from the party she resigned from her position. And some of us have been engaging. She still loves the party. So surely Nana Yaa Jantuah will be involved and all our comrades who are sitting on the fence.
“The duty of the Independent Committee (IC) is to rally all of us ahead of the elections. So, tell NPP and NDC that they should be ready for battle”.
