The leadership of the Convention Peoples Party (CPP) in the Brong Ahafo Region has declared its support for Professor John Evans Atta Mills, flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the upcoming presidential election run-off.
A press release issued on Tuesday and signed by Mr Kwame Tabiri, Secretary to the "CPP members for Atta Mills Presidency Forum'' said the NDC candidate "holds the best prospects for a rejuvenated CPP in the country".
It said even though the leadership of the party in the region respected the decision of the Central Committee of the CPP that their members should remain neutral in the December 28 election, "it has become abundantly clear that for the majority of members of the CPP in the region," the rejuvenation of the party depended on the election of Atta Mills as the next president.
The release urged all members of the party in the region in particular and the country in general to vote massively for Prof. Atta Mills.
