The\u00a0Convention Peoples Party (CPP) has denied claims that it has agreed to join<\/strong><\/a><\/span> the\u00a0the New Patriotic Party’s\u00a0much touted \u201cW\u0254n Gbo\u201d demonstration which has been slated for Wednesday.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”6zfr54yheytmhUHtbVZyaC1mEMqflVz6″]According to the CPP\u2019s Deputy Director of Communication, Ernesto Yeboah \u201cfor CPP to join another Party\u2019s demonstration that party needs to write to us and we must accept to do so. No such request has been made as far as we are aware.\u201d<\/p>\n

General Secretary of the NPP, Kwabena Agyepong during a press conference in Accra on Tuesday said some political parties in the country including the CPP and the People’s National Convention (PNC) \u00a0have agreed to join in their demonstration to protest the erratic power supply and worsening economic conditions<\/strong><\/a><\/span> in the country.<\/p>\n

The CPP’s communicator indicated that though the NPP led by its General Secretary, Kwabena Agyepong visited the CPP\u2019s office on Monday to invite them, Chairperson of the CPP, Samia Nkrumah turned them away\u00a0saying \u201cit was a very short notice and as such an invite would require consultation with the party.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe told him however that we are concerned about the hardships in the country and we have been championing same. She told him that we don\u2019t see the NPP as the alternative to the problems, thus the NPP have no confirmation or acceptance from the CPP to participate,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Mr Yeboah however urged the NPP to stop misleading the public since the CPP has not accepted any invitation to that effect.<\/p>\n
