A founding member of the Convention Peoples’ Party (CPP), Mr. F.A Jantuah, has asked his party to go to sleep and stop dreaming about winning power in their “tattered” status. Speaking to Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah, host of Joy FM’s Super Morning Show on Thursday, he threatened that he would neither vote for the CPP nor any other political party. “Now the current CPP is not the type of CPP organization which will enable the CPP win an election in the interest of the people. I am not going to vote for anybody because my vote is for CPP and if the CPP just in tatters as it is now, I am not going to vote for anybody.” Mr. Jantuah also accused the flag-bearer of the party, Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom, of taking over the party and “destroying it”. He described the party’s manifesto as a “bunk” that will not inure any benefits to the party in the December elections. He said looking at the “type of representation, leadership, the manifesto which is a private enterprise manifesto, CPP manifesto should be a public enterprise manifesto; the manifesto is just a bunk”. “How can you win an election with a manifesto for the New Patriotic Party,” he questioned. Mr. Jantuah, who served as a Minister of Agriculture in the First Republic under the Presidency of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, also attacked the CPP trio in Parliament and said they are a disgrace to the party. He said they have failed to project the core value of the Nkrumaist tradition in Parliament, but had rather been dancing to the tunes of the ruling party. He is further calling for the expulsion of these three Members of Parliament, Freddie Blay for Ellembelle, Kojo Armah for Evalue-Gwira, both in the Western Region and Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom of Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abirem in the Central Region. These persons, he said, and any other party member who go contrary to the codes of the party should be sanctioned because “nobody is above the rules and regulations” of the CPP. Mr. Jantuah called on the elders of the party to put their heads together to solve the wranglings in the party In a related development, The Chronicle reported on Thursday that the CPP Member of Parliament for Ellembelle, Mr. Freddie Blay, has said the party cannot win the presidential election and should therefore focus on winning more parliamentary seats. Mr. Blay, has however, refrained from commenting on the said story when Joy FM contacted him. Story by Isaac Essel
