CPP Did Not Benefit From NPP Alliance – Delle

National Chairman of the Convention Peoples Party (CPP), Prof. Edmund Delle, has observed that the party has no plans to partner with any political party, especially, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), for the November 7 Presidential and Parliamentary elections.

According to him, although the CPP and NPP have previously worked together to form a government, the Nkrumahist party did not benefit much from the said alliance.

“We’ve been in alliance with the NPP before but we didn’t benefit much”, he said in an interview with Kasapa 102.3 FM Friday.

He said with the experience gained from the NPP alliance together with lessons learned from joining forces with some other political parties, the CPP has, resolved to go solo just like it did in 2012.

Pollster and Editor-In-Chief of the Daily Dispatch newspaper, Ben Ephson, has suggested that the CPP is more likely to join forces with the Peoples Progressive Party (PPP) to collaborate with the NPP ahead of the November 7 polls should Samia Nkrumah emerges victorious in the party’s presidential race scheduled for Saturday, January 30, 2016.

“I suspect that going forward there is going to be a major collaboration…If Samia wins the CPP Presidential candidate she may collaborate with Dr. Nduom to go to the negotiation table with NPP”.

Ephson intimated that Samia has been politically closer to PPP, hence he foresees a possible alliance between her [Samia] and former flagbearer of the CPP, Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom in her bid to make inroads into the upcoming polls.
