Three parties to produce constitution soon

The three Nkrumaist political parties, currently holding unity talks, would produce the final version of their Draft Constitution for the proposed united party by the end of this year.

The parties, namely Convention People's Party (CPP), Peoples National Convention (PNC) and the Reform Party are currently using The Common Political Platform (CPP) as a working document for their political agenda.

The General Secretary of the CPP, Dr Nii Noi Dowuona announced this in a message read for him at the Eastern Region CPP Council of Elders meeting in Koforidua on Wednesday.

All the three parties involved in the talks have shown great sense of mutual respect, goodwill and open faith, he said, adding that: "Our unity talks are yielding fruits."

Dr Dowuona, therefore, asked the rank and file of the party to relate to the members of the sister parties cordially in order not to undermine the progress of the talks.

The Regional Chairman of the Council of Elders, Nana Bosompem Frimpong said with hard work and dedication by members, the party could win power in the near future.

He urged the council members to encourage the youth to participate in their programmes and activities in order to explain the good works of Dr Kwame Nkrumah to them.

Nana Frimpong further urged members of the party to be truthful and unite to ensure a resounding victory for the party in the 2004 elections.

The First Regional Vice Chairman of the party, Nana Owusu Sekyere commended the members for their support during the year, which he said had made many people to join the party.

He said the party had reached a stage where it had to win back political power and urged constituency executives to redouble their efforts in their respective areas to win more people for the party.
