Osei Kofi Acquah Writes: The road to CPP Congress,the Story so Far

 

 

Good morning comrades yesterday the Convention Peoples Party ( Our Party) made the move we have all being impatiently waiting for which is giving us clear directions for the forward of our party.

BACKGROUND

Following the litigations and the long standing feuds in the party which led NEC to set all leadership aside, there were still other formers of leadership who carried themselves as leaders which stalled the activities of the Interim Council which was set up by NEC, including taking them to court to challenge the legitimacy of the Interim Council.

This was resisted by other comrades particularly key members of NEC who felt that as the second highest decision making body of the party their decision should be upheld.

In this back and forth situation the Founding Fathers of the CPP under the 4th Republic, decide to intervene.

So they met the former chair and leader of the party Maame Akosua Frimpomaa and listened to her.

After that, they met the former General Secretary of the party Nana Yaa Akyepim Jantuah and listened to her.

After that they met the former leadership and listened to them as to what the cause of the feuds.

After meeting the former leadership of the party, they met all the 16 regional chairmen who are the head of the constituencies in the region.

The founding fathers together with the Council of elders unanimously decided that the way forward was to step in and steer the Affairs of the party.

This was led to the formation of the Independent Committee at the residence of the former National chairman and leader of the party Professor Naa Edmund Delle.

The committee was unanimously approved and endorsed by all members of the party.

THE REORGANIZATIONAL COMMITTEE

The New established Independent Committee decided that they have to hit the road running due to the already wasted time.
A Reorganization Committee was constituted after wide consultations.
Comrade Yirimambo Moses and Comrade Habib Yakubu were task to cordinate the Reorganizational Committee with other members drawn from various part of the country and portfolios.

The Reorganization Committee were tasked to recalibrate the National Delegates album to ascertain the intergrity of the delegates album, to find out if the delegates in both the constituencies and Regions can meet the 2/3rd majority as instructed by the constitution in order for congress to take place.

The Reorganizational Committee dealt with the task given them by the Independent Committee with swift seriousness.

After the recalibration of the album and confirming the intergrity of the album, reports were made available to the Independent committee.

CONGRESS COMMITTEE
After the Reorganizational Committee submitted their report to the Independent Committee, the Independent Committee satisfied with the information available to them , set up the Congress Committee to design a roadmap to take the CPP to congress to elect a flagbearer.

Comrade Nana Mireku Tumi was appointed as the Congress Committee chairman.
Comrade Tumi hit the road running by constituting the congress committee immediately.

On the 23rd of August 2024, Comrade Tumi presented proposed Dates for the picking of nomination forms, guidelines to fill the nomination forms, supplementary documents like Curriculum Vitae, a police report from the C.I.D headquarters, a prove that an aspirant has been a member of the party for 4 years or more as stipulated in the party’s constitution and a prove that the aspirant is a member of the party in good standing.

Dates for filling of nominations and dates to start and end campaigns have all been stated in the Congress Committee report.

The Independent Committee satisfied with the proposals of the Congress Committee approved the proposal.

THE COMMUNICATIONS TEAM

The Independent Committee decided to set up a communications team to amplify the decision and position of the party to the General public.

The Independent Committee believes that the current CPP needs enough publicity and visibility in the public domain to champion the party’s agenda.

After broader and wider Consultation, the Independent Committee appointed Comrade Osei Kofi Acquah to lead the communications team and to be supported by comrade Ali Dayinday and Comrade Rose Austin Tenadu.

The communications team knowing that they also have to hit the ground running has proposed a program they call FROM THE NKRUMAIST PERSPECTIVE.

This proposed program which is yet to be approved by the Independent committee seeks to give a platform to let the CPP hold weekly press conferences by bringing members of the party who are well informed and expert to speak on how the CPP and Nkrumaist will run the various sectors of the economy when they win power.

This platform also aims at creating a visible platform to showcase the various parliamentary candidates who are contesting on the ticket of the CPP to give them the exposure which they need.

Party communicators are going to be trained to well represent the party on various media platforms across the country.

Forward Ever!
