The leadership of the party says the CPP has worked hard over the past three years to become the third force in Ghana’s politics and thus, they are poised to wrestle power from the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Meanwhile, disqualified flagbearer aspirant and brother of Ms Nkrumah has secured a court injunction to stop the congress from taking place.
Onzy Nkrumah accused his sister of masterminding his disqualification from race.
Defending his actions in a radio interview, Mr. Nkrumah said the court injunction is only aimed at “improving the party and increasing the fortunes of the CPP.”
