The Convention People’s Party (CPP) has expressed concern over the current state of politics in Ghana, particularly the rising incidence of political violence and the dominance of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

It stressed the importance of free and fair elections, devoid of violence, and called for a more inclusive and peaceful political environment where other voices and opinions would also matter.

In a statement signed by the CPP’s National Deputy Secretary, Enoch Donald Sakpa, the party highlighted challenges encountered during the recent election rerun in Ablekuma North, including inadequate resources and the presence of organised vigilante groups.

“Despite these challenges, the CPP remains hopeful and committed to promoting peace and stability in the electoral process,” it stated.

Violence

The statement stressed that violence was not a solution to political differences and called for those responsible to be held accountable.

It also underscored the importance of inclusive dialogue and the protection of all Ghanaians, regardless of political affiliation.

“We believe that Ghana’s hospitality, honesty, and love for forgiveness are essential values that should guide the country’s politics,” it noted.

Peace

The statement called on all Ghanaians who share in the vision of the CPP for a more peaceful and inclusive politics to join the party in promoting a culture of peace and stability, stressing that “by working together, Ghanaians can build a better future for all.”

It said the CPP’s approach to politics was rooted in promoting peace, stability, and inclusivity.

“The party’s leadership believes that this approach is essential for building a more harmonious and prosperous society, where all Ghanaians can thrive,” the statement said.- GNA
