A staunch member of the Convention People's Party (CPP) has issued a passionate call for unity within the party, urging its leadership and rank-and-file members to set aside internal divisions and refocus on the founding vision of Kwame Nkrumah.
In a strongly worded message circulating among party faithful, Comrade Onsy Kwame Nkrumah, one of the sons of Ghana's first President appealed particularly to what he described as the “long-suffering, die-hard, unwavering Nkrumaist members” to remain hopeful and committed to rebuilding the CPP into a formidable political force.
According to him, the CPP has the potential to regain political power as early as the 2028 general elections, provided the party decisively suppresses internal ego-driven ambitions. It eliminates what he termed “self-serving agendas” that deviate from Nkrumah’s original mission.
“CPP can win political power again, not in the distant future, but in two years,” he asserted, emphasising urgency and discipline within party ranks.
The statement also revealed underlying tensions within the party, as he calls on a leading figure, who might be the reason for the dichotomy in the party, to step aside in the interest of unity and progress. He further cautioned against any legal disputes or internal resistance from factions, including former regional executives, warning that such actions could derail the party’s revival efforts.
Drawing inspiration from recent international developments, the CPP loyalist cited the outcome of a recent election in Hungary, where a relatively new and under-resourced political movement reportedly unseated a long-standing incumbent government.
He described the victory as a “David versus Goliath” scenario, noting that the challenger party rose from having no parliamentary representation to securing a commanding majority within just two years of organisation.
“This shows that even a small, determined political movement can overcome entrenched power structures,” he argued, suggesting that the CPP could replicate a similar political trajectory in Ghana.
The message concluded with a rallying call to party members across all constituencies to intensify grassroots mobilisation and maintain faith in the CPP’s resurgence.
“Let us keep hope alive… CPP can work again, CPP can win again,” he declared, invoking the party’s historic slogan: “Forward ever, backwards never.”
The CPP, once a dominant political force that led Ghana to independence under Kwame Nkrumah, has in recent decades struggled to regain its former influence in national politics. Internal divisions and electoral setbacks have contributed to its diminished presence.
However, voices like Comrade Onsy Kwame Nkrumah’s reflect a growing sentiment among sections of the party base that a revival remains possible, if unity, discipline, and strategic organisation can be achieved.
