The Editor in Chief of the New Crusading Guide newspaper is unimpressed with comments by some leading members of the Convention People’s Party which sought to douse the effect Nduom’s breakaway could have on the party.
The animated Malik Kweku Baako said it is “absolute rubbish” for anybody to think, suggest or say that the breakaway of Nduom will not affect the CPP.
He was speaking on Newsfile on MultiTV/Joy FM on the state of the Convention People’s Party after the breakaway of its 2008 flagbearer, Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom to form his own party the Progressive People’s Party (PPP).
The General Secretary of the CPP, Ivor Greenstreet and other leading members of the party played down the impact of Nduom’s departure and denied media reports of mass defects of CPP members to the PPP.
But Malik Baako said that “story must be told to the marines.” He argued it is only “political neophytes” who will draw that conclusion.
In his explanation, the CPP member said the formation of the PPP added to the tall list of CPP fragmentation which has for many years been the major challenge for the CPP.
He added no matter how the PPP will portray itself as an independent party with a different ideology, the electorates cannot help but see it as a fragment of the CPP.
He opined the PPP will itself struggle to make an impact in the 2012 elections, suggesting it could in the subsequent elections become credible.
Whilst the PPP will have its own challenges, he said those of the CPP will even be greater, insisting, anybody who sought to downplay the impact of Nduom’s defection is perhaps not worthy of a place in authority in the CPP.
