The Convention People’s Party (CPP) has announced its intention to elect a flagbearer by August 2024, just six months before the 2024 general elections.

Despite the delay, the party has affirmed its commitment to fielding a flagbearer in the upcoming polls. Starting June 3, 2024, the CPP began meetings with its regional executives to audit the constituency album.

Speaking at the party’s headquarters, Moses Yirimambo Ambing, Coordinator for the National Organizational Committee, emphasized that the CPP will have ample time to campaign effectively and secure victory in 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 has expressed optimism that its former general secretary, Nana Yaa Jantuah, will join its campaign efforts leading up to the elections.

The party is actively working to unite its members ahead of the polls.

“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”.
