The Convention People’s Party has fixed this Saturday to elect a presidential candidate for the 2012 presidential elections.A little over 2,000 delegates are expected to choose between Accra-based lawyer, Bright Akwetey and 2008 Vice Presidential candidate of the party, Dr. Abu Sakara.The election of a flagbearer has been the source of major controversy in the CPP with the resignation of the 2008 presidential candidate, Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom allegedly linked to the delay.Ahead of this weekend’s congress, Joy News’ Sammy Darko called up the Party Chair, Samia Nkrumah and asked how serious the party was about capturing power.She said the party was now cohesive and united and determined to reverse its dwindling fortunes in the country’s elections.Samia insisted the two aspirants were both “capable men, they are competent men, they have served the party well and I am sure they will serve Ghana well.”She said the CPP was also working hard to increase its representation in Parliament in the elections.The congress to elect the flagbearer comes off at Essipong,
Sekondi.
