Ms Samia Nkrumah, Chairperson of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) at the weekend said she was deeply troubled and disappointed at dwindling fortunes of the Party in contemporary Ghanaian politics.She said having ushered Ghana into independence with a strong economic foundation under her late father Dr Kwame Nkrumah, the CPP did not deserve its current low place in politics in Ghana.Ms Nkrumah was speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) at Dzodze where she joined the people in marking their Palm Festival (Deza).“Who would not be disturbed when an entity you so cherished lose its vim and glory,” Miss Nkrumah stated.She blamed the situation on factors including lack of commitment among its rank and file, but hoped the Party would see light at the end of the tunnel following what she called generational change in the Party.Miss Nkrumah said the youth could be made to lead the way, adding that consultations had already started on a number of issues to strengthen the CPP.She said equal opportunities would be open for all including Party delegates to lead the change and that the CPP still had a lot of goodwill among the population.Mr George Agudey, CPP 2004 Elections Presidential Candidate, who has expressed interest in being candidate for the 2012 elections, said the Party did not want power for the sake of it.He said the Party has a lofty seven years development plan to raise the living standards of the people.Mr Agudey said supports the split of some constituencies ahead of the coming elections, explaining that Weija, for example, was too large to be represented by one Member of Parliament.
