December 19, Give CPP a Chance-Asare, page 15

Story: Tim Dzamboe, Peki-Wudome

A ranking member of the Convention People’s Party (CPP),Mr Celemence Asare, a.ka Kofi Sabon has said the party is highly viable at the moment of its history because it had paraded very credible presidential candidates at its last congress in Kumasi.
He said the presidential candidates were people with rich experience in governance and knew the length and breadth of the country and others with lot of international experience.
Mr Asare who was speaking to the “Daily Graphic” therefore said what is more important for the nation is for the citizens to choose the CPP as the next government in order to safeguard the peace prevailing in the nation.
According to him the New Patriotic Party(NPP) and the National Democratic Congress(NDC) were two parties bound not to bring peace to the nation because of “the way they reacted to each other, the way they looked at each other and the way they assessed each other is all antagonism”
“Antagonism cannot build this country, it is only peace and understanding that can build this country” he said, adding “if we are not careful and vote for NPP or NDC we are only setting the stage for a fight”.
Mr Asare said there could be a fight because NPP will never accept a defeat in case NDC won the elections and likewise the NDC will not accept defeat if the NPP retained power.
He said the solution is a neutral party declaring that, “that is the CPP, so all peace loving citizens of this country should ignore NPP and NDC so far as the 2008 elections were concerned”.
He said he is aspiring to contest the South Dayi constituency seat on the CPP ticket and called on the people to give CPP, a peace loving party, the chance.
