The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has congratulated the newly elected flagbearer of the Convention Peoples Party (CPP), Ivor Greenstreet for winning the bid to lead the party in the November polls.

A statement signed by the NPP's acting General Secretary, John Boadu expressed the hope that Mr. Greenstreet's election will enrich the nation's politics and democracy.

The national delegates of the CPP overwhelmingly voted for Mr. Greenstreet on Saturday at the Trade Fair Center in Accra.

He beat three others including the immediate past chairperson of the party and daughter of the CPP founder, Samia Nkrumah who was tipped by many to win the election.

Ms Nkrumah has subsequently accused the newly elected flagbearer of vote buying but has given indications that she will not contest the results.

Below is the full statement from the NPP
