The Convention People’s Party (CPP) has reaffirmed its full participation in the upcoming by-election in Ejisu, with midwife Esther Osei as its parliamentary candidate.
The party expressed confidence in Osei’s ability to effectively represent the aspirations and interests of the people of Ejisu.
The party made this known when it clarified that it has not placed any injunction on the parliamentary by-election process in Ejisu.
The party emphasized that a former Ashanti Regional Chairman of the party, Emmanuel Gallo, initiated a court process seeking to stop the Electoral Commission from performing its mandate, but this was done in his personal capacity and does not represent the CPP’s stance.
“Contrary to circulating rumors and misinformation, the CPP has not placed any injunction on the Parliamentary by-election process at Ejisu. We are aware of the court process initiated by one Emmanuel Gallo, a former Ashanti Regional Chairman of the Party, seeking to stop the Electoral Commission from performing its mandate.
“However, it is important to note that this action was taken by Mr. Gallo in his personal capacity and does not represent the stance of the CPP.
“We are participating fully in the upcoming by-election at Ejisu with Midwife Esther Osei as our indefatigable parliamentary candidate. We remain confident in her ability to represent the aspirations and interests of the people of Ejisu effectively,” part of the statement signed by Director of Communications, Sylvester Sarpong -Soprano, read.
