The 2008 presidential candidate of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) Dr Paa Kwesi Nduom, has launched his second bid for the top job."I Papa Kwesi Nduom am here this morning to announce the launch of my campaign to become President of the Republic of Ghana. Let me make it clear here and now what I am doing today as far as the CPP is concerned. It is only Congress that can determine who becomes the Presidential Candidate of the Party. This is a declaration of intent to enter the contest the second the nominations bell rings. I love competition. I am ready for it."Dr Nduom said the people of Ghana deserve a better leadership than has been offered them by the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP).He catalogued a litany of critical national projects he said were initiated under his tutelage as Public Sector Reform Minister under the Kufuor administration, citing the National Identification system, the new pension scheme, amongst others.“If one CPP man can bring very many good ideas for millions of Ghanaians to benefit from, imagine what would happen if the entire government was put in the hands of the new CPP”? he asked rhetorically."I can tell you today, I believe I am the person most suited for the position of president of the Republic of Ghana come January 2013," he stated."We had a great message of change you can feel in your pocket to give hope and dignity to the Ghanaian in his or her own country. There was an enthusiastic army of young men and women who believed that Ghana deserves better. We experienced the hopes and dreams of ordinary men and women who walked and used their sweat to support our campaign. We could not give many the T shirts they wanted to wear to identify with us, and money they asked for because they truly needed it and yet they came out to work and cheer our efforts."In 2008, we promised that together, we would build a great country. We promised that together, we would unite our people. Together, we would run an inclusive government and do something different - bring inclusiveness into Ghanaian society so that the best people get the right jobs and contracts. We promised that a CPP administration led by me would be open, transparent and will attack corruption and indiscipline with a sense of urgency so that we could build a just and caring society that is prosperous. I still stand by these promises," he stated amidst applause.
