The results have been a shock to the nation after the CPP was expected to become a third force after the New Patriotic Party and the National Democratic Congress.
Mr Ivor Greenstreet during his campaign chanted an “electric shock” slogan with some members of the party.
According to him, the CPP was going to shock the two major parties in the country in the coming party.

He said, “We keep hearing Ghanaians complain that they are tired of NPP and NDC because all they see is argumentation, lack of improvement in the lives, lack of opportunities for their children to get employed, great difficulty in accessing welfare and the expense and quality of it. And so they will be asking themselves a lot of question when they see two large political parties praising themselves and arguing over so-called infrastructure when in their own circumstances they don’t see them.”
“Therefore, that shock is not just a gimmick, yes we have grabbed people’s attention but the actual simple reality is unless they [Ghanaians] give the NPP and the NDC the ‘electric shock’, nothing will change and that status quo will continue,” he added.
Per the provisional results so far, the Ghana Union Movement (GUM) seem to have polled more votes in the country than the famed CPP.
