The Chairman of the Convention People's Party (CPP), Prof. Edmund N. Delle has condemned the politics of 'insults and name-calling' in the country.

He does not understand why public debates degenerate into invectives and insinuations.

In a statement, he opposed this "current phenomenon which has led to gross indiscipline among our youth and adults".

"As a party, we have put in place measures to educate our members to eschew politics of insults and we call on all other parties to do same. The CPP has always upheld discipline and comradeship. I entreat all political party communicators to execute their analysis and debates on both radio and television, devoid of insult and character assassination. The CPP is determined to change the status-quo and help eliminate what has now become a competition among party communicators: the competition that rewards those that insult best. Surely, our country deserves better than this. Our country must work again" he added in the statement issued on over the weekend.
