CPP ORGANISING IN ALL CONSTITUENCIES — LAMPTEY (PAGE 16)

The Campaign Manager of the flag bearer of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Mr Richmond Lankwei Lamptey, has given the assurance that the party is organising itself in all constituencies by taking its message to the people.
He said, the party’s message of “change you can feel in your pocket,” had resulted in a lot of people joining them.
“Ghanaians are also queuing to register to become CPP members and are enthused about the CPP going to the Flagstaff House after the December elections, “ he added.
Mr Lamptey was speaking at a press conference in Wa, the Upper West regional capital on Friday, as part of activities to monitor the ongoing voters registration exercise.
He noted that following the inroads being made by the party, the ruling New Patriotic Party had also placed adverts on radio and television asking people to go to the nearest polling station to register.
“They are asking people to register with them whilst in our case, people run to us to register; no wonder the NDC wants to steal our slogan “Yeresesamu” with its accompanying gestures after their slogan “NDC no size” was rejected at a youth explosion programme in Accra a few weeks ago,” said Mr Lamptey.
He was happy with the work done so far by the Upper West regional executives of the party by recruiting people into the CPP with very limited resources, and described the situation as very refreshing.
He advised first-time voters to go and register so that they could vote for their favourite candidate, Dr Paa Kwesi Nduom, to become the next president of Ghana.
Mr Lamptey disclosed that the party would field candidates in all other constituencies, with the exception of where the People’s National Convention (PNC) had sitting Members of Parliament.
