Youth for Nduom 2012 storm Upper East

08-07-2011
A group calling itself ‘Youth for Nduom 2012’ Exploration Committee says it is imperative for the Convention People’s Party (CPP) to reposition itself as a formidable force and restrategize to redeem its dwindling electoral fortunes. The Spokesperson for the group, Richard Nii Amarh, made the call in an interview with Radio Ghana at Bolgatanga, as part of their nationwide tour engineered by Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom to explore his viability as a presidential candidate for the 2012 elections. The tour, Nii Amarh disclosed is to collate public views on the chances of the CPP in the upcoming general elections and to solicit alternative views that led to the fall of the CPP in the 2008 elections. He said 30 volunteers in each region are mandated to execute the ongoing exercise and is expected to end by the close of July, 2011. These volunteers are expected to produce answered questionnaires and feedbacks from respondents and also collate the desired information from the people at the grassroot. A detailed and comprehensive report would therefore, be documented for onward submission to the party’s headquarters in Accra for redress. The move according to Nii Amarh would give the leadership of the party a fair idea as to how they can restrategize to recapture power after years in opposition. He said CPP as an Nkrumaist party, is determined and poised to winning the upcoming general elections and encouraged Ghanaians particularly the youth to embrace the prospects of the CPP. He was of the view that majority of Ghanaians have lost absolute hope in the NPP/NDC led regimes, yet they have not been able to find solace in the CPP because they think the party lacks organizational structures to function effectively. Nii Amarh hinted that areas toured so far including Western, Central, Ashanti, Brong Ahafo and Upper West Regions have given strong indication that indeed Ghanaians are truly disappointed in the government, suggesting that the leadership of the CPP must employ alternative policies in resolving its internal issues based on total unification and strong organizational policy. He also entreated party executives to as a matter of expediency redirect their energies towards ensuring a resounding victory in the 2012 general elections. He as well called on supporters of the CPP especially delegates of the upcoming flagbearership race, to throw their weight behind Dr. Nduom to enable him pursue his visionary agenda for the party and the country in general.
