The much anticipated delegates congress of the Conventions Peoples Party is underway at the Esipong stadium in the Western region.
Over two thousand delegates have gathered at the stadium in Tarkoradi to elect a flagbearer for the party.
The congress is a heated contest between lawyer Bright Akwetey and the party’s 2008 running mate Dr. Abu Sakara.
Joy News’ Western regional correspondent, Ebenezer Afenyi Dadzie reports that voting has delayed due to a blackout which lasted for an hour.
He said Regional executives and National executives of the party are scheduled to meet before election starts. The elections will be done region by region, he added.
Some high profile personalities of the party including Prof. Agyeman Badu Akosa and lawyer Bright Akwetey have arrived but Chairperson, Samia Nkrumah is yet to arrive at the congress.
