According to him, statements from the party’s flagbearer, Ivor Greenstreet on national issues are indicative that the party is determined to transform itself into a formidable force in the country’s politics.

Contributing to a panel discussion on Radio Gold, Kwesi Pratt Jnr who is a member of the CPP said: “I think that today, the Convention People’s Party is one of the most serious political parties in Ghana.”

“Check the statements which Ivor Greenstreet has been making on the economy and so on. I am not saying this because I am a member of the party. Everybody knows that when my party goes wrong, I will criticize it,” he remarked.

He added that “over the last three four months, check the quality of statement coming from the Conventions People’s Party so people should take that party serious.”

Mr. Pratt Jnr’s comments come on the back of a statement purportedly issued by a section of the executive members of the CPP regarding the Mahama gift saga.

He stated that his checks from Mr. Greenstreet revealed that the persons who supposedly signed that statement were not members of the CPP.

“The Central Committee of the CPP has not met on the matter. The CPP is not aware of any executive mandated to distance themselves from Ivor Greenstreet so how that statement came to be issued in the name of some executives of the Convention People’s Party is baffling,” he said.

Mr. Pratt Jnr warned that if there are any elements in that party “who want to return to the gutter, they should advise themselves and advice themselves well because there are people in that party who want to build it as a credible party that when it speaks, people will stop to listen. I am totally appalled by this development.”
