The Convention People’s Party (CPP) has denied reports that it will not field candidates for the 2024 general elections.
In a statement dated June 26 and signed by the Chairman of the Independent Committee, P.N. Sorbodjor, the party confirmed its participation in the upcoming elections.
This statement comes against the backdrop of the Director of Communications for the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Sylvester Sarpong-Soprano indicating that CPP is unlikely to field a presidential candidate for the 2024 general election due to internal disagreements and numerous court cases.
In an interview with Asaase Radio, he emphasised that these issues have prevented the party from conducting primaries to select a candidate, and without significant changes soon, the CPP will struggle to organise itself effectively for the upcoming elections.
But the statement clarified stating “It has come to the attention of the National Secretariat of the Convention People's Party, information circulating in sections of the media to the effect that the Party will not field candidates for the 2024 general elections. The Independent Committee of the CPP wishes to debunk this Information."
According to the release, the party is currently finalising its organisational activities for selecting candidates for the December 7 Presidential and Parliamentary elections.
The party assured the public that a detailed programme will be announced next week.
