The Chairperson for<\/span> the Convention People\u2019s Party(<\/span>CPP), Samia Nkrumah has denied accusations that she is running the CPP in an autocratic manner.<\/p>\n

Samia Nkrumah was accused of running the party in an autocratic manner and also disregarding the elected leadership of the party by vice chairpersons of the party.<\/p>\n

But speaking on Eyewitness News<\/b>, the former Member of Parliament for Jomoro dismissed the allegations, saying \u00a0\u201cyou saw us on our 66th<\/span><\/sup> birthday<\/span>; I was flanked with<\/span> many high ranking leading members of the party. How can we hold a very successful event when we lay out the beginning or part of our economic policy without the cooperation of our various members of the party so that charge doesn\u2019t hold.\u201d<\/p>\n

In her opinion, it was imperative for the party to focus on issues that will propel national development rather than focusing on the internal affairs of the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are very important issues that we should be speaking about rather than the internal affairs of a political party.\u201d<\/p>\n

She further stated that the letter issued by the party\u2019s Vice Chairpersons against her was \u201cgiving a wrong impression about the emerging CPP.\u201d<\/p>\n

Samia Nkrumah in that regard said the CPP would look into the issue in order to appropriately deal with it.<\/p>\n

She also advised various politicians in the country to refrain from accusing each other.<\/p>\n
