VOLTA REGION CPP IN CRISIS? (Page 16)

Story: Tim Dzamboe, Ho

THE Volta Region branch of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) is heading for constitutional crisis if it is not able to hold a regional congress to elect its regional executive by February 2.
Although the national congress had given a respite to the region to resolve all differences and to elect new executive by the said date, nothing seems to excite the conscience of the current executive to do so.
Sympathisers of the party are, therefore, worried that despite an improved image of the CPP, which may bring in more fortunes in the 2008 elections, the party is still groping in the nexus of uncertainty in the region.
One of them told the Daily Graphic that it could mean that the national executives would have to sort out the issue with the constituency executive, because the mandate of the regional executive would expire on February 2.
He added that any gap between the national and constituency executive would not augur well for the party in the region.
An aggrieved member recounted the saga on the list of delegates from the region at the national congress in Kumasi and how the region was able to overcome the threats that confronted it, and said although many people had expressed interest to contest for the various positions, they were still unwilling to come forward.
