Concert Peoples Party (CPP) Your man Kwame Nkrumah never built a political party - he built his own fan club. He is dead and gone and now that is the end. He was life president, he was also life Chairman of the CPP and even for a while he was General Secretary. No one was his deputy prime minister or vice president. Everything was about him On the other hand the Danquah-Busia tradition was never about Danquah, Busia, Grant, Ofori-Atta etc. It was about ideas and democracy. It was a true political party. Busia invented the concept of a Deputy Prime Minister (J. Kwesi Lamptey) and Deputy Ministers for the fist time in our history. his was a man who thought it necessary to broaden the pool of knowledge. J.A. Kufuor was one of his deputy ministers and so there is the result for all to see! So even after it was banned by Nkrumah because of the one-party state in 1965, even after the 1972 coup, even after 30 years in opposition it has managed to come back to power twice and in one instance, 2016, it scored the biggest upset in Ghana politics Now you CPP people I must ask what percentage of the votes are you expecting in 2020? Each year your votes go down, your seats go down etc etc. Who will invest his money picking forms, campaigning etc to lead when he knows of the 15 million Ghanaian voters only about 20 thousand will vote for him? The CPP is finished as a political party. Dead and gone forever
