The Youth League of the Convention People\u2019s Party (CPP) is calling for the immediate removal of the Vice Presidential nominee of the party, Nana Gabby Nsiah Nketia<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Youth League say the nominee\u2019s recent confession that he was a card-bearing member of the New Patriotic Party undermines the party\u2019s credibility and puts his loyalty to the CPP in doubt.<\/p>\n

Secretary to the League, Hardi Yakubu told Citi News, <\/strong>Nana Gabby Nsiah Nketia\u2019s confession is an insult to the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are quite baffled about how a card-bearing member of another party will be a Vice Presidential candidate our party. We don\u2019t think that is proper. We are asking that he should renounce his membership of the NPP and fully join the CPP or he should be withdrawn immediately,\u201d Hardi said.<\/p>\n

He added that \u201cwe do not see the reason why we would stoop so low to as to go and get a member of another political party who is so proud to announce his card-bearing membership of that political party to come and become our running mate. We think it is an insult to the rank and file of the party,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Nana Gabby Nsiah Nketiah who was a former adviser to ex-President John Agyekum Kufuor said in an interview on GhoneTV that even though he has agreed to become the CPP\u2019s vice presidential nominee, he is still a card bearing member of the NPP.<\/p>\n

The retired diplomat also said he sees nothing wrong with still being a member of the biggest opposition party and being the running mate for the CPP flagbearer.<\/p>\n

He is quoted to have said, “Few years ago some NPP leaders including myself and former President Kufuor went to the house of the late Mr. Arkaah to be our running mate and he agreed to do it even though he was not a member of the NPP, so there is nothing wrong with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

‘CPP chooses Gabby Nketia as running mate’<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Convention People\u2019s Party, (CPP), last week settled on a businessman, Nana Gabby Nketia as the running mate to its presidential candidate, Ivor Kobina Greenstreet for the December elections.<\/p>\n

Mr. \u00a0Nketia, a politician and a businessman, has worked with both the Ghana Armed Forces and\u00a0the\u00a0British Army, and is expected to complement the efforts of Mr. Greenstreet, with his international influence to help enhance the party\u2019s chances of winning the elections.<\/p>\n

The Communications Director of the CPP, Kadir Abdul Rauf Issifu, who confirmed the decision\u00a0to Citi News <\/strong>said,\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cThe party settled on him because of his level of exposure and maturity. He is an engineer by profession and he has also been working with the Ghana Armed Forces and the British Army so the party is very hopeful that this duo will lead the process of the new political and economic order in the country.”<\/p>\n
