    Our thanks to Aduako Sarben, for taking time to provide this write up.

    So what is the state of Nkrumahism today? Who are the so called Nkrumahists? What is the state of the CPP today? The UP tradition has managed to maintain its identity, won three elections and currently ruling this country. Th ...
