The Convention People's Party (CPP) has expressed deep concerns about the current state of politics in Ghana, particularly the prevalence of violence and the dominance of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
In a statement, Enoch Donald Sakpa, National Deputy Secretary for the CPP, emphasized the importance of free and fair elections, devoid of violence, and called for a more inclusive and peaceful political environment where other voices and opinions would also matter.
He highlighted the challenges in the recent election rerun in Ablekuma North, including lack of resources and organized vigilant groups. "Despite these challenges, the CPP remains hopeful and committed to promoting peace and stability in the electoral process." The CPP strongly condemned the recent incident of violence involving a woman who was beaten up by a group of people.
The party believes that violence is not a solution to political differences and called for those responsible to be brought to justice, Sakpa said.
