Let them bring the evidence. It is unfortunate because we all need to come together and the party is bigger than Ivor Kwesi Greenstreet and it is bigger than all those who contested me and lost, and the party is Supreme.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In previous elections, we\u2019ve been eternally divided and that is the cause of our failure. Unfortunately they [opponents] didn\u2019t make it but I made it and I am going to pursue this campaign with energy, with innovation, with a new desire to make a difference in our politics,&#8221; said Greenstreet.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that though there might be divisions within the party, he will ensure the party enters the upcoming November election on a united front.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think it will be difficult to rally them ahead of the elections. Maybe these are the initial discordant sounds you may be hearing. I haven\u2019t listened to what they have to say and I haven\u2019t had a chance to make a determination and I don\u2019t want to be critical of people even if they are being critical of me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact of the whole matter is the Convention People\u2019s Party is a big party with a big history and a great tradition about providing real solutions and opportunities to Ghanaians&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>By: Marian Ansah\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<br \/>\n<a class=\"twitter-follow-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EfeAnsah\" data-show-count=\"false\">Follow @EfeAnsah<\/a><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\n!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s) [0],p=\/^http:\/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+':\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The newly elected Presidential candidate of the Convention Peoples Party (CPP), Ivor Greenstreet has vowed to drag Samia Nkrumah and others before the party\u2019s Disciplinary Committee to prove allegations of bribery against him.
