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

Despite the delay, the party has reaffirmed its commitment to presenting a flagbearer in the upcoming polls. On June 3, 2024, the CPP commenced meetings with its regional executives to audit the constituency album.

Addressing the media at the party’s headquarters, the Coordinator for the National Organisational Committee, Moses Yirimambo Ambing, stated that the party will have enough time to campaign and win the December polls.

“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 also indicated that it is hopeful that its former general secretary, Nana Yaa Jantuah will join its campaign ahead of the elections and it is also taking measures to unite the party ahead of the elections

“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”.
