So we are giving him the opportunity to also come on board and several others who are disgruntled with the NPP with a common purpose so that we can create an all-inclusive, united Ghanaian society and implement an agenda for change that will transform this country of ours.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Divine Nkrumah explained that \u201cPPP is a party that is disciplined and a party that has a flagbearer who has the people at heart and has what it takes to manage the economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The PPP is one of the young opposition parties which was formed ahead of the 2012 elections, led by entrepreneur and politician Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom after his breakway from the CPP.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Paul Afoko, who believes the NPP has not treated him fairly\u00a0is heading to court to challenge his suspension.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Speaking at a news conference\u00a0on Wednesday, Paul Afoko said\u00a0\u201cafter exhausting all the internal processes I am left with no option than to head to the court to seek interpretation of my party\u2019s constitution.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;I am not only doing this for myself but for everyone else including the flagbearer of our party, because today it is the national chairman, the next time it may be a flagbearer. It is wrong for some seventy people to sit in a room somewhere in Accra and decide to remove an elected official,\u201d Mr. Afoko added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8211;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By: Godwin A.
