The Convention People’s Party (CPP) has rebutted claims that it will abstain from presenting candidates in the 2024 general elections.
In a statement issued on June 26 and signed by the Chairman of the Independent Committee, P.N. Sorbodjor, the party affirmed its intention to participate in the forthcoming elections.
This announcement follows remarks from Sylvester Sarpong-Soprano, the Director of Communications for the Convention People’s Party (CPP), suggesting that internal disputes and multiple court cases might prevent the CPP from nominating a presidential candidate for the 2024 elections.
Speaking on Asaase Radio, he highlighted these challenges, citing difficulties in holding primaries to select a candidate. Without substantial changes in the near future, he cautioned that the CPP could face significant hurdles in effectively organizing for the upcoming elections.
But the statement clarified stating “It has come to the attention of the National Secretariat of the Convention People’s Party, information circulating in sections of the media to the effect that the Party will not field candidates for the 2024 general elections. The Independent Committee of the CPP wishes to debunk this Information.”
The statement indicated that the party is in the final stages of organizing its activities to select candidates for the upcoming Presidential and Parliamentary elections on December 7.
It assured the public that a comprehensive schedule would be unveiled next week.
