Dr Nduom to
NPP/NDC "do not to be
deceived by opinion polls"–
Kumasi, Aug 11, Ghanadot/GNA – Dr
Paa Kwesi Nduom, Flagbearer of the Convention People’s Party
(CPP), has cautioned the two major political parties not to
be deceived by opinion polls and surveys that seemed to put
them ahead in the upcoming general elections.
He told the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National
Democratic Congress (NDC) that socio-economic conditions
that prevail in the country currently suggested otherwise.
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency in an interview in Kumasi
at the weekend, Dr Nduom said the citizens were yearning for
a change of government after both parties had thrown the
country into untold hardships and poverty due to the
mismanagement of the economy.
He granted the interview after he presented a paper on his
Party’s vision on rural development at the Kwame Nkrumah
University of Science and Technology (KNUST).
Dr Nduom said his countrywide tour had given him the
confidence that the CPP was gaining grounds especially among
the youth in the rural areas.
“Wherever we go the electorate are yearning for the
come-back of the CPP as they had been disappointed by the
two political parties with unfulfilled promises”, he noted.
He called on supporters and sympathizers of the party to
bury their differences and rally behind the CPP’s to regain
power and save the suffering masses through prudent economic
policies and programmes for better living conditions.
Dr Nduom condemned in no uncertain terms the recent violence
and vandalism that had characterized the ongoing voters’
registration exercise and blamed the NPP and the NDC for
these developments as they had been “overly aggressive”.
He cautioned supporters of the two parties to exercise
restraint to ensure the successful completion of the
registration exercise.
Dr Nduom advised the youth to vote massively for the CPP
since it had good plans and programmes and was also the only
alternative party that could salvage the country from its
present socio-economic predicaments.
