Member of Parliament for Okaikwei South Nana Akomea has urged the Convention Peoples Party (CPP) to pull out with merger talks with the Peoples National Convention (PNC) and humbly join forces with the largest opposition New Patriotic Party to wrestle power from the ruling NDC. The ex-Employment Minister said previous attempts by the two parties to unite in the last decade has almost turned farcical adding that the only option for the CPP is to form an alliance with the NPP which would offer them a better platform. “In the last decade or so we have seen various attempts to unify the so-called Nkrumaist front…I am sympathetic to them but what is going on has almost been like a comedy show, it’s been farcical, these are parties propheting the Nkrumaist tradition. You have just a couple of seats in a 230 seat parliament and instead of being embarrassed about that and putting all your efforts to unify because even when you unify you can’t achieve that much you still can’t achieve that unity”. “You look at the personalities involved, the young Bernard Mornah, Prof Akosa, Kwesi Nduom huge personalities in their own rights and the little matter of achieving unity between their very little parties they cannot achieve it…it is almost becoming a farce”. The PNC and the CPP in the last decade have made frantic efforts to unite to form a formidable Nkrumaist front to become a strong political winning machine but several attempts to unite have ended in disarray. Nana Akomea told Citi FM on Saturday, October 2, that the political space previously occupied by the CPP has been taken by the NDC and the only alternative for the CPP is to form a strong alliance with the NPP. “The big alternative of the CPP is to join forces with the NPP, not forces in the sense of joining the NPP but forming some alliance with the NPP that can give them a good shot of diminishing the NDC so that the political space will become available but as long as that space is being taken over by the two dominant forces that is the NDC and NPP there is no way the CPP is going to become a great force because even the small unity they can’t achieve it.” Meanwhile the General Secretary of the PNC Bernard Morah has denied any involvements in trying to sabotage the unity of the CPP and the PNC.
