PRESS RELEASE
The Central Committee of the Convention People's Party was convened in Ho, Volta
Region on Saturday April 17th 2010. Present at the meeting were constituency
executives from all constituencies in the Region as well as many prominent members
of the party in the Region. The purpose of the gathering was to solve the over two
year impasse in the region which has led to several court actions and
non-functioning regional executives.
The CPP wishes to make it clear to its members and the general public that this
matter has now been resolved.
In this regard, as a consequence of a resolution passed at the meeting, the last
legitimate Regional Chairman, Prince Ahiadzro and his regional executives are to
hold a regional conference to elect new regional officers before july 17th 2010.
This exercise is to be carried out in collaboration with the National Organiser,
National Women's Organiser and National Youth Organiser.
Additionally Prince Ahiadzro is to withdraw all outstanding matters in court
relating to volta region cpp by the 23rd of April 2010.
The CPP also wishes to make it clear that the ongoing exercise to review the Party's
constitution shall be completed in April.
Additionally a National Executive Committee shall be held soon to discuss many
important issues including the schedule towards an early National Delegates Congress
to elect new executives.
In the meantime, party members should take note of a recent Central Committee
decision which re-iterated the fact that any act deemed to bring the party's name
into disrepute is a disciplinary offence and shall not be tolerated. In this regard
the the decision called for an immediate ceasefire in the war of words and public
exchanges between former CPP flagbearer contestants, former national officers,
current national executives and other party members.
