CPP General Secretary, James Kwabena Bomfeh has clarified the position of his party on the EC's decision to compile a new voters' register.

The Convention People's Party (CPP) is reportedly said to be part of six political paties that have thrown their weight behind the Electoral Commission to conduct the new voters' registration exercise which comes off on Tuesday, June 30, 2020.

Nonetheless, one of the party's bigwigs, Kwesi Pratt, says the reports that the CPP supports the EC is complete falsehood.

"I am a member of the Central Committee of the Convention People's Party. I am Chairman of the Logistics Committee of the party. The party has never taken any such decision. Yes, the party has not taken any decision to support the compilation of a new voters' register," he told Kwami Sefa Kayi on 'kokrokoo' Tuesday.

To give credence to the statements by Kwesi Pratt, James Kwabena Bomfeh, popularly called Kabila on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' stated emphatically that there has been no concrete decision made by the CPP on the compilation of the new register.

According to him, the CPP stands neutral and is not in favour nor against the EC's decision.

"Please, with the greatest respect, there's no meeting that the CPP has said we're for or against. We would have been a member of IPRAN if we were against but we're not part. We haven't stated that we're for or we're against. What I understand is we have remained positively neutral and that positive neutrality is in line with the party's philosophy from Osagyefo's time. That's why we're part of the non-allied movement but that doesn't mean we're not citizens," he told host Kwami Sefa Kayi.

He however emphasized that, as a politician with political ambitions, he will not abstain from the exercise stressing only registered persons can assume a public office in Ghana.

"I will certainly go and register," he said.
