A former Presidential aspirant of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Mr George Oposika Aggudey, has said the party stands the brightest chance of winning the 2004 polls and forming the next political administration in January 2005.

He said “Considering the Yearnings of the electorate for the return of the CPP to manage the economy, I am strongly convinced that the party will upstage all political parties which will contest the next elections to reshape the social and economic direction of the country’. Mr Aggudey was addressing a group of supporters who had called on with the 93rd birthday of the late Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah, which falls today, Saturday.

According to Mr Aggudey, developments on the party’s front regarding the assertiveness of the leadership to snuff out attempts by elements he described as renegade politicians within its ranks to mortgage it to other political forces have re-awakened the enthusiasm of the members for its activities. “The leadership of the CPP, which has been entrusted with the mandate by the rank and file, has learned its lessons the hard way and will not allow a few elements who have a demonic agenda to dismember the front to have their own way”.

The former presidential aspirant said considering the preparations that the party has made to maintain existing supporters and woo back those who have joined other political parties the CPP will definitely fight and win the next polls. He said the fact that political parties on the country’s political scene wish the CPP to form an electoral alliance to contest the 2004 elections indicates “the fears entertained by such parties that the CPP will cause a major upset by winning the next parliamentary and presidential elections.”

Mr Aggudey said the social and economic prescriptions of Dr Nkrumah have and will continue to have impact on the country’s development, adding, “the enormous suffering that country the is going through is because it has skipped solutions prescribed by Nkrumah for solving her problems.”
