Discard vague confidence in NDC, NPP — Impraim
The Ghanaian electorate have been asked to discard the vague confidence they have in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and rather put their trust in the Convention People’s Party (CPP), in election 2016.

A former Member of Parliament (MP) for the Ajumako-Enyan-Essiam Constituency in the Central Region during the Third Republic, Nana Yamful Impraim, who is now the Coordinator of the Council of Elders of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), said the two parties, which had ruled the country since the inception of the Fourth Republic had failed woefully to deliver development promises.
In an interview with the Daily Graphic on Tuesday, he said a vote for the CPP would not be a wasted vote as was being trumpeted by both the NDC and NPP.
“It will rather be a wasted vote if Ghanaians continue to vote for either the NDC or the NPP in the 2016 Election,” he argued.
He said Ghanaians had always voted either NDC or NPP “but look at where we are today.”
In his view, the CPP had been made to look weak and ineffective in the eyes of the Ghanaian electorate due to machinations by the NDC and the NPP.
“It is all in the hope of keeping the CPP away from governing the country,” he stated.
He described the efforts by the NDC and NPP at discouraging Ghanaians from voting for the CPP as “demonic.”

Nana Impraim said the miserable state of the country at the moment could be attributed to mismanagement by the two parties.
He said the CPP had been in government before and the successes it chalked up in respect of the economy were still recognisable and reaping benefits for the country.
He said in spite of the current poor situation, Ghanaians must not feel despondent but have courage and vote for the CPP in the next elections so that it can take the reins of government and restore hope and confidence in the Ghanaian.
“What I find disturbing is the seeming creation of a two-party system for the country. If Ghanaians do not move from that presumption it will spell doom for the country since neither of the two parties, NDC and NPP, is prepared to let the other succeed,” he said.
He said the CPP had learnt its lessons while in opposition and had worked seriously and prepared well to take power, reinstate the country to glory and move it forward for enhanced development.
