The Convention People’s Party (CPP) has issued a statement clarifying that it has not placed any injunction on the parliamentary by-election process at Ejisu.
The party emphasized that while one Emmanuel Gallo, a former Ashanti Regional Chairman of the party, initiated a court process seeking to stop the Electoral Commission from performing its mandate, this action was taken by him in his personal capacity and does not represent the stance of the CPP.
The CPP reiterated its full participation in the pending by-election at Ejisu, with midwife Esther Osei as their parliamentary candidate.
The party expressed confidence in Osei’s ability to effectively represent the aspirations and interests of the people of Ejisu.
“Contrary to circulating rumors and misinformation, the CPP has not placed any injunction on the Parliamentary by-election process at Ejisu. We are aware of the court process initiated by one Emmanuel Gallo, a former Ashanti Regional Chairman of the Party, seeking to stop the Electoral Commission
from performing its mandate.
“However, it is important to note that this action was taken by Mr. Gallo in his personal capacity and does not represent the stance of the CPP.
“We are participating fully in the upcoming by-election at Ejisu with Midwife Esther Osei as our indefatigable parliamentary candidate. We remain confident in her ability to represent the aspirations and interests of the people of Ejisu effectively,” part of the statement signed by Director of Communications, Sylvester Sarpong -Soprano, read.
The statement urged the general public to disregard any false information suggesting that the CPP is hindering the electoral process.3
