The flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Danquah Akufo Addo has advised the newly elected presidential candidate of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) to focus on ‘issue-based’ campaign.
Nana Akufo-Addo, in a congratulatory message to Ivor Greenstreet, said the CPP must “contribute to the shaping of the political discourse, from one of personality attacks to a competition of programmes, policies and ideas”.
“This is to congratulate Ivor Kobina Greenstreet on his election as presidential candidate of the Conventions Peoples’ Party for the 2016 elections. I also congratulate Samia Nkrumah, Joseph Agyapong and Bright Akwetey for their pledge of support for Mr. Greenstreet. With Ghanaians eager for an issue-based campaign from all political parties and candidates, it is my hope that Ivor Greenstreet and the CPP will contribute to the shaping of the political discourse, from one of personality attacks to a competition of programmes, policies and ideas. This will help to reinforce the peace and stability of our nation. I wish him well. God bless our democracy, God bless Ghana” Nana Addo said in his congratulatory message.
