Unity of Nkrumaist parties unlikely — Dedey

A united Nkrumaist party, as a political force in the Fourth Republic of Ghana is unlikely, Mr Kosi Dedey, a once frontline member of the Convention People’s Party (CPP)  has predicted.

He was giving his impressions of the current political landscape in an interview with the Ghana News Agency in Ho.

Mr Dedey asserted that rather than being committed to, and guided by principles, personalities and parties involved in such unity projects rather concerned themselves with who should hold which positions.

He said as a result, parties and some personalities involved lent themselves to manipulation by the National Democratic Congress and the New Patriotic Party to satisfy their limited interests.

Mr Dedey also said previous unity initiatives were short-lived because people were more focused on the spoils.

He added, “We have been at it for the past 10 years, especially as elections got near”.

Mr Dedey said questions of accountability and transparency in governance in the Fourth Republic reflected the internal workings of the political parties.
