Sylvester Sarpong-Soprano, the Convention People’s Party (CPP) director of communications, has urged party members to stick together.
His remark follows his earlier declaration that internal party strife will probably prevent the party from fielding a presidential candidate in the general elections in 2024.
Sylvester Sarpong-Soprano emphasized in an interview with Citi News that the party needs to address its internal problems in order to effectively compete for power against the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
“For some reason, especially including the fact that we had these disruptions by these elders in our party form so-called committees that seem to interrupt our activities. We have had five court cases over the past four years, with an average length of about eight to ten months before there is a judgment.
“So that is one of the reasons why we are not moving forward as we should be moving forward. So right now…We see an opportunity for the party to unite right now.
“I am committed to telling the full truth about the CPP so that we can get support and help to revamp. I could sit here and do propaganda and say, oh, the CPP is all well and good, and that we will win the presidency. I can do that, but I must tell the truth to the Ghanaian electorate so that they know the state of the party so that they can rally so that we can save Ghana.”
