The Convention Peoples Party (CPP) has refuted claims that it will abstain from fielding a presidential candidate in the upcoming December 7, 2024 elections.

Nana Akosua Sarpong Kumankuma, Chairperson of the CPP, affirmed the party's readiness to participate in the forthcoming polls. In an interview with 3news.com, she expressed confidence in the electoral process.

Currently, two prominent members of the party, former flagbearer Ivor Kobina Greenstreet and the incumbent party chairman Nana Akosua Sarpong Kumankuma, have officially submitted their candidacies for the presidential slot.

Addressing social media speculations about the party's electoral strategy, Nana Sarpong Kumankuma attributed these rumors to internal frustrations stemming from delays in internal procedures.

She said, “Am definitely coming as a Presidential Candidate so do not want to engage too much on internal issues.”

She further indicated that, “myself and him (Ivor Greenstreet) were the only contestants who supposedly filed. We will see.”

The CPP, a Nkrumahist party, has faced internal challenges but remains committed to enhancing its appeal to voters and expanding its support base.
