Upon listening to the General Secretary of CPP on Eye witness news on Citifm last night, that Flagbearership election should take place 'sometime next year' with the excuse that the newly elected National Executives should be given the chance to organize the party structures in all the 230 constituencies, we became worried about the real intentions of the newly elected executives of the CPP especially Mr.
Greenstreet, who is a Lawyer by profession. We were wondering why the General Secretary of a well known political party like the CPP should make such unilateral statement.
It is very worrying and unacceptable for the General Secretary of our party, Mr. Ivor Kobina Greenstreet to have made such undemocratic proclamation especially considering the limited time available for the party to contest the presidential and parliamentary election.
We are incredibly disturbed about the fact that, the newly elected National executives are sabotaging the CPP because, the decision to hold presidential primaries 'sometime next year' as indicated by Mr.
Ivor Greenstreet on Citifm and Ms. Samia Nkrumah on Choice fm is a complete violation of Article 78 clause 3 of the CPP Constitution, which stipulates in simple language that the party should go to congress two years ahead of any general elections.
We wish to give surety to the National Executives that, any purposeful attempt to subvert the CPP constitution and sabotage the electoral fortunes of our dear party in the 2012 general elections would not be taken nonchalantly at all. The CPP leadership must further understand that procrastination is the thief of time; so therefore, we cannot waste time because if we did, we can only waste ourselves and our party.
We do not want to believe that the undue delay is an effort to further the agenda of other political parties and their candidates at the expense of the promising electoral fortunes of the CPP in the 2012 elections. If the CPP is not interested in contesting the 2012 general elections, the leadership must be bold to tell us now so that we do not waste our time.
