Ag CPP General Secretary dumps party, endorses President Mahama
The acting General Secretary of the Convention
Peoples Party (CPP) has abandoned his party to
endorse a re-election of President John Mahama.

Yaw Assani Tannoh explained his decision: “If it
is development, I will vote for President Mahama
because he has done a lot of development in the
country.

My party and the flagbearer do not deserve my vote
and the rest of Ghanaians”.

Announcing his decision to endorse the NDC
presidential candidate on Onua FM’s Kokromoti on
Monday, Mr. Assani Tannoh claimed “ever since we
had our congress…the flagbearer does not work
with me”.

He accused Ivor Greenstreet of failing to form an
all-inclusive campaign team after he was given the
nod to lead the CPP into the 2016 elections.

He said “I don’t know whatever goes on in the
party and I have consistently called him to make
him aware that what he is doing is not good but he
does not care”.

Mr. Assani Tannoh said “he [Ivor Kobina
Greenstreet] rejected all the plans that I put
across to help us win the presidency and so I will
vote for President Mahama”. He alleged that “I
have report the issues to the National Chairman
and the candidate himself on several occasions”
and as a result “the chairman has even ban me
from coming to his office so for over two months
now, I have not been to his [Chairman, Prof Edmond
Delle’s] office” Reacting to the issue, the
CPP National Organizer, Emmanuel Kwabena Ogbordjor
said “if I were the National Chairman I will
call for emergency meeting to expel him from the
party. I will be very happy if the National
Chairman will expel him from the party”. He said
the party’s constitution forbids members from
endorsing a candidate other than their own.
