CPP Committed To Unite With PNC – Samia

The Convention People’s Party (CPP) is looking forward to a successful merger with the People’s National Convention (PNC) ahead of the 2012 general elections.

Speaking to Citi News, the chairperson of the CPP, Samia Nkrumah, said a merger between the two parties will provide a united front for the two main Nkrumahist parties come the December polls.

“We are committed to uniting with the PNC, we knew it will take time and it is a difficult process, but that is one of our strongest objectives,” Ms. Nkrumah said. “Our goal is to have a unified Nkrumahist party, a genuine party, it is not a brand name. It is a belief in policies that can be demonstrated, implemented and lived.”

She said it is only an Nkrumahist party that can implement the ideas of Ghana’s first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.

According to her, people who call themselves Nkrumahists cannot do so if they do not implement policies inspired by the late Dr. Nkrumah.

Referring to the exit of Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom from the CPP, she said the PPP flagbearer’s departure was necessary to the “refinement and rebirth of the CPP.”

“It was no surprise to us that Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom and the people he came in with would leave. That is fine, we wish them well. Those who are committed to the cause have stayed,” Ms. Nkrumah said.
