Professor Agyemang Badu Akosa, a Convention Peoples Party (CPP) flag bearer aspirant on Tuesday said the party's congress next month was a turning point in its history not only to determine its fate in the 2008 elections but its future and image.
He said the congress was crucial and urged the delegates to elect the person with the right leadership qualities acceptable by the electorate.
Professor Akosa made the observation at a meeting with delegates of the party from Essikado-Kettan, Shama, Sekondi, Takoradi and Effia-Kwesimintsim constituencies and students from Takoradi Polytechnic at Sekondi.
He was accompanied by Alhaji Iddi Imoro Egala who is contesting the party's National Chairmanship, Imoro Ayarna and Mr Kwame Gyantoa both members of Professor Akosa's campaign team.
Professor Akosa noted that the CPP was the only hope for Ghanaians yearning for a new leadership that had practical answers to the country's myriad problems.
He said when elected as President of Ghana, education and creation of opportunities for youth employment and housing schemes for the people would be among his priorities.
Professor Akosa advised the delegates not to be swayed by money and other considerations but elect the person who had the "pedigree, commitment and ready to die for the country and CPP".
Alhaji Egala said the party's congress was a "make or break affair" therefore delegates must elect people who were prepared to sacrifice to build a strong party as leaders.
He said when elected as the National Chairman, he would embark on a massive membership drive to make the party more attractive, strong and dynamic.
