The flag-bearer of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom says he is the best among all the presidential candidates in this year’s elections. “Support the CPP so that one of your own, who is also the best candidate in the race could become the President of this country” he told party supporters at a town hall meeting in Kissi near Komenda. Dr Nduom, who was on his Central Regional campaign tour, thanked the people for supporting him to become their Member of Parliament for the Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abirim Constitutency in the region. He recounted some of the benefits through his lobbying they had gained under his tenure including electricity, roads, and educational projects. He asked the people to entrust their hopes with people who had proven in their private and public lives to have the welfare of the nation at heart. Dr. Nduom said the people of the Central Region deserved better than they had had. “The people of this region would be better off under a CPP administration led by me”, he said earlier at a durbar held to end the annual Bakatue festival of the Chiefs and people of the Edina Traditional area. “Therefore all sons and daughters of the region wherever they may be should join the national ‘Yeresesamu’ or the Campaign for ‘Change You Can Feel in Your Pocket’ that has caught fire throughout the country”. Dr. Nduom reminded the people that the CPP under President Nkrumah put a sugar factory in Komenda which benefited thousands of people and promised that as “Edwumawura”, he and the CPP, “will bring back jobs lost over the years so that hope can come back to this area”. He assured the people that the CPP had caught on very well all over Ghana and will win the elections this year Dr Nduom asked them to consider the crises in their pockets and vote for change and bring the CPP back to power because “the people deserve better”. He said the Central Region had educated many Ghanaians and its people had served Ghana very well in the public sector, and thus deserved to send its son to the highest office of the land particularly one who had prepared himself well for the Presidency like himself. He later met with the executives and Parliamentary Candidates for the Cape Coast and KEEA constituencies to strategise on how the CPP could win the majority of Parliamentary seats and Presidential votes in the Central Region this year.
