CPP urges contestants to accept verdict of delegates

Accra, Sept. 10, GNA - Mr Ladi Nylander, National Chairman of Convention People's Party (CPP), has entreated all contestants to accept

verdict of the delegates and unite to wrest power in Election 2012 from the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).

He said winners and losers should support each other in the preparation towards winning Election 2012 since the party had been at crossroads for some time now.

Mr Nylander made the appeal at the on-going Eighth National Delegates Congress on the theme:" Get Involved in the Change Ghana Needs" in Accra on Saturday.

He said the citizenry was watching the party carefully about how it would organise the congress and come out not divided but more united than ever.

The National Chairman explained that CPP was ever ready to provide the transformational leadership required for the country's socio-economic development.

He said new National Executives would be elected at the congress to steer affairs of the party and expressed the hope that preparatory work

would begin at the grassroots.Mr Nylander noted that Ghanaians had benefited from the tremendous leadership of Ghana's First President, Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah, and it was this same leadership the country needed from CPP to change the country's fortunes for growth and development.

Mr Bernard Mornah, General Secretary of Peoples National Convention (PNC) in a solidarity message commended the party for the orderly manner it had organised the congress and urged delegates to elect executives that would truly reflect on the party's ideology.

Other solidarity messages were received from New Patriotic Party (NPP) and Great Consolidated Popular Party (GCPP).
