Dr. Nii Noi Dowuona, General Secretary of the party made this known in Accra.

Dr. Dowuona explained that the decision by the Central Committee of the CP to extend the period by two weeks was to enable it to deal with technical details as well as to enhance the spirit of competitiveness among the aspirants. Asked whether there were plans to change the date for the Delegates Conference slated for October 30, the General Secretary said: "the party has no cause to postpone it because it has not encountered any problems so far". The venue for the conference is yet to be decided.
