The Convention People’s Party (CPP), would spring a surprise in the 2008 Election and other political parties should not underrate the CPP. Mr Richmond Keelson, Communication Director of the Campaign Team of Dr Paa Kwasi Nduom, CPP flag bearer for the 2008 Election, said this in an interview with GNA in Koforidua. He cautioned other political parties, especially the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) that the CPP was ready to wrestle power from the NPP. Mr Keelson called on CPP supporters to work hard to enable the party to win the polls. He said the CPP was registering the youth in the country, especially first time voters as party members and issuing them with party cards. Mr Keelson said the exercise was successful claiming that the party had registered thousands of new members. He observed that for the first time in many years, Ghanaians were queuing in there numbers to register to become CPP members and said the CPP would occupy the new presidential palace in January 2009. Mr Keelson said although the NPP and NDC were solid on the ground, the CPP would not be deterred but would go all out to win people to their side. He said the party’s campaign message was going down with Ghanaians resulting in many people from the 10 regions of the country joining the CPP. Mr Keelson advised prospective voters to register in the ongoing re-opening registration exercise to enable them to vote for Dr Nduom as the next president to change the economic fortunes of the country. He said on 21st September all registered members of the party would converge at Winneba where the CPP campaign would be officially launched to coincide with the birth day of Dr Kwame Nkrumah, founder of the CPP and first President of Ghana.
