Dr. Sakara the first National vice chairman of the CPP was selected after months of consultation with the Central Committee of the party.

Sources close to Joy news indicate that Dr. Sakara was the only candidate presented to the Central Committee of the party by the flag bearer, after Anna Bossman expressed little interest in landing the job of a vice presidential candidate Dr Abu Sakara, has been very active in the on going Nduom campaign and appears to appeal to a broad section of the party. He is also a Gonja and is directly related to the overlord of Gonja. Publicity chairman of the CPP Kossi Dede told Joy news Dr. Sakara will be outdoored at the party’s mammoth rally to be held at the Kwame Nkrumah circle in Accra on Sunday. Thousands of supporters have already thronged the rally ground to signify the resurgence of the party that has only three seats in parliament.
