For a left-of-centre political party, especially Kwame Nkrumah’s Convention Peoples Party (CPP) to state that it will remain neutral at this critical juncture of Ghanaian democracy's path to good governance is tantamount to a betrayal of mother Ghana.
Ghana cannot simply continue being ruled by an incompetent political party that has succeeded in piling up so much debt that today, Ghana, after having virtually all its old external debt cancelled, is again suffering "debt distress" - to use the World Bank and IMF's euphemism for debt that is squeezing the very lifeblood out of a nation crippled by a large and unsustainable external debt.
If, as the statement issued and signed by Mr. Ladi Nylander, the chairperson of the CPP says, the leadership of the party will continue to “explore its options”, then they had better do so quickly - and opt for change: and do so now. Period.
Remaining neutral will amount to giving succour to the incompetent and corrupt New Patriotic Party (NPP) to win the presidency yet again - and continue dividing our country with their outrageous tribalism and short-sighted and destructive policy of asset-stripping Ghana till kingdom come to pay for their life of Riley at the expense of Ghanaians. How can that be? Why, have they too been bought by the NPP?
Is such an outrageous position, adopted by the leadership of a political party that says it seeks the creation of an egalitarian society in Ghana, not a betrayal of the principles of Nkrumah our party's founder? Why, is the CPP leadership planning to sell their supporters and mother Ghana, out?
Some of us will quickly turn against them if they refuse to support Professor Mills - and they had better prepare "well-well" for a future of constantly being at the receiving end of our ire.
Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom and his colleagues can forget about any future in the party Nkrumah founded, if they refuse to help Ghana change its leadership in the run-off of the presidential election.
They are entitled to make their own choices, but they must not forget that some of us wield pretty mean pens - and we promise that we will make sure that they will never get anywhere in Ghanaian politics if they betray Ghana by remaining neutral in this election, for as long as we live. They had better revise their notes quickly. A word to the wise...
Hmmm Ghana - enti yeawiaye paa, enia? Asem ebaba debi ankasa! May God bless and protect our homeland Ghana, always. Long live freedom! Long live Ghana!

Hello,
I am a CPP member and I have been so since my teen age into what is now a middle age. Everything thing that the CPP is saying here is true. The question though is, has the CPP said everything it has to say on the impending vote?
How is the CPP reading and responding to the most important political imperative at stake; the consolidation of the NPP dynasty in power to facilitate their steep descent into officially corrupt constitutional despots through long-term manipulation and stragulation of the Judiciary, the use of rubber-stamp NPP parliamentarians and an Executive whose lists of opinions, even on local matters, are supplied by London and Washington?
This vote is crucial to national liberation from the disgusting neo-colonialism of the NPP of the same proportion and significance as the CPP's battle for Independence in 1957!
It is clear we can not make it on our own. Our primary revolutionary duty is to prevent an NPP consolidation of power and strenthen the people's ability to change governments peacefully and democratically. This is the legacy history is asking from the CPP today!
The tergiversative proclivities of Ndoum is a clear indication that he is sticking hard to his deal with the NPP! The CPP must not go along with this! To sin by silence when they should protest, makes cowards out of men! Let us go forth with a tactical choice between change and continuity and support the NDC against the NPP!
Some one must slap Ndoum gently on the cheeks to wake him up from his pleasant dreams of winning this election and ask him to make himself more relevant by reading through the dynamics of change blowing through Ghana and offer a responsible leadership, for the first time in his life! He must study carefully and quickly what has happened to his old accomplice, the right very much honorable, Mr. Freddy Blay Mugabe d'Ellembelle!
