The Convention People’s Party (CPP) has denied any involvement in a petition seeking the removal of President John Dramani Mahama from office.

In a statement dated October 22, 2025, the party’s Central Committee said it has not sanctioned or supported any such initiative and described attempts to associate the CPP with the petition as unfounded.

The statement, signed by the Chairperson and Leader of the party, Patrick Nelson Sogbodjor, emphasised that the CPP remains committed to its constitutional and democratic principles.

“The Convention People's Party states unequivocally that its Central Committee, the highest administrative organ of the Party, has not sanctioned such a move. Any attempts by anyone whatsoever to associate the Party with the Petition should kindly be disregarded. Thank you,” the statement read in part.

According to the party, the claim was made by Wayoe Gjanamanti, who served as the running mate to the CPP’s 2024 presidential candidate, without the knowledge or approval of the party’s leadership.

The CPP said Gjanamanti’s comments do not represent the position of the party and should be treated as a personal opinion.
