Nkrumaist unity talks on course

Three Nkrumaist political parties, who contested the last general elections, have announced the adoption of a common political platform to guide their activities in the campaign for social equality and economic independence.

The Convention People's Party (CPP), National Reform Party (NRP) and the People's National Convention (PNC) in a statement signed by their general secretaries urged their members to debate and work out common modalities to build consensus for unity.

The secretaries are Dr Nii Noi Dowuona of CPP, Mr Kyeretwie Opoku of NRP and Mr Gabriel Pwamang of PNC.

The statement said the Inter Party Co-ordinating Committee of the three parties and their national leadership would work out an organisational programme for the attainment of ''united progressive activism in the country''.

It urged members of the various parties to organize internal discussions on the modalities and make the appropriate inputs for a comprehensive document.

The political parties that identify with the Nkrumaist tradition after the last elections started unity talks to form a common front for future elections.

However, the Great Consolidated Popular Party (GCPP) withdrew from the talks accusing the other members of undermining the tenet and spirit of the talks.
