NDC MUST STOP USING CPP'S SLOGAN (PAGE 13)

THE Campaign Manager of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Mr Richmond Lamptey, has advised the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to stop using the CPP’s “Yere sesamu” slogan as if it was theirs.
He urged the NDC to join the CPP if it believed in the “Yere sesamu” slogan and other messages of the CPP, adding that they would be welcome.
Mr Lamptey, who was speaking to newsmen after a tour of the Upper West Region, said “it is characteristic of the NDC to steal everything and make it their own. They have realised that their slogans are not catching on so they have come for ours”.
He said judging from the high level of support the CPP was enjoying nationwide, the party was poised to spring a surprise in the December polls.
He said the party was currently organising in all polling stations such that when the ballots were counted after the elections, people would be surprised.
“We are working towards having at least 30 per cent of the presidential votes to place second to either the NDC or the New Patriotic Party (NPP). This will make any of the two to support the CPP for the second round,” Mr Lamptey said.
He described as untrue, rumours that a CPP parliamentary aspirant for Walewale had defected to the NPP, because the CPP had not elected an aspirant for Walawale.
He explained that Mr Ahmed Issahaku who is alleged to have defected was the CPP candidate for the 2004 elections.
