The Convention People's Party (CPP) has said it is most grateful to the chiefs and people of Kumbungu for voting for the CPP in last Tuesday's parliamentary by-election. The party believes that the election of Amadu Moses Yahaya is a bold statement on strengthening of parliamentary democracy in Ghana and intended to change the one-way pattern of Ghana's two-party political system. According to a statement signed by Nii Armah Akomfrah, Director of Communication for the CPP, the party also commended the Electoral Commission and the Northern Regional Police Command for their role in ensuring a free, fair, transparent and a violence-free by-election. �We are very grateful to the police for the rapid response to calls made by the party in ensuring peace and security,� it stated. In the party�s view, the election of Amadu Moses Yahaya would bring major changes in the lives of the people. �We expect to see him work in the spirit and letter of the party's ideology and guided by the will of the people in the constituency for change,� the party indicated and pledged to support and demonstrate its commitment by helping him achieve his political objective.
