Critical appraisal
The Secretary of the Greater Accra Regional Branch of the party, Mr Richard Nat Nyano, who read a speech at a press conference, said they reached that decision because of a critical appraisal of the current standing of the party.
He said with the understanding of the entire 11-member regional executive committee, the regional branch has decided to throw its weight behind Professor Delle to become the new chairman of the party.
Outstanding
The regional secretary said Professor Delle was not only an outstanding member of the party but also had the pedigree to steer its affairs to clinch victory in 2016.
He expressed the hope that Prof. Delle would ensure that the good works of the outgoing chairperson of the party, Madam Yaba Nkrumah, would be continued,as well as initiate more projects that would propel the CPP to capture power in 2016.
Father figure
Mr Nyano said Prof. Delle, who was a father figure in the party, a dean of the party’s welfare affairs and unifier, would succeed in unifying the Nkrumaist front to achieve victory come 2016.
He said Prof. Delle was bringing on board decades of vast political experiences and maturity to foster victory for the party.
