The Convention People’s Party (CPP) is unlikely to field a presidential candidate for the 2024 general election due to ongoing internal disagreements and court cases, according to Sylvester Sarpong-Soprano, the party's Director of Communications.

Speaking in an interview with Accra-based Asaase Radio, Sarpong-Soprano cited the inability to conduct primaries and organise effectively as key factors hindering the party's preparation for the elections.

“I am not sure we can present a candidate [for 2024] because of what is occurring in the party. The party persistently has not been able to organise [itself], and this is because of multiple repeated court cases challenging the chairman and leader,” Sarpong-Soprano explained.

He expressed concern that the CPP's current state could make it challenging to field a candidate unless significant changes occur soon.

Sarpong-Soprano highlighted the importance of telling the truth about the party's situation and its impact on their ability to participate in the upcoming elections.

“As the party stands now, as Director of Communications committed to telling the truth about the situation in the party in the interest of the party, I don’t see how that [fielding a candidate] might be possible," he added.

With less than six months remaining until the December elections, the CPP's decision not to field a presidential candidate could have implications for the political landscape as other parties and movements intensify their campaigns to secure victory.
