The CPP Flagbearer has said in the Central Region that the people deserve better than they have experienced so far. Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom said that the people in the region will be better off under a CPP administration led by him. Therefore all sons and daughters of the region wherever they may be should join the national “Yeresesamu” or the Campaign for “Change You Can Feel in Your Pocket” that has caught fire throughout the country.

At a durbar held to end the annual Bakatue festival of the Chiefs and people of the Edina Traditional area on Saturday July 5th, Dr. Nduom thanked the people for supporting him to become their Member of Parliament and recounted some of the benefits through his lobbying they had gained under his tenure including electricity, roads, education, fishing and job creation projects. He asked the people to entrust their hopes with people who have proven in their private and public lives to have the welfare of the nation at heart. He was accompanied to the durbar by hundreds of CPP supporters and leading members including the First Vice Chairman of the Party, Dr. Abu Sakara, the Treasurer, Mr. Mike Eghan, the Chairman of the Greater Accra Region, Mrs. Susan Adu-Amankwah and the Parliamentary Candidate for the KEEA Constituency, Mr. Joachim B. Eshun.

In Kissi near Komenda on Saturday evening, Dr. Nduom held a town hall meeting with the people who are mostly farmers. The atmosphere was great as the people were very enthusiastic and happy about his visit particularly the fact that he would sit together with them at the end of the day and listen to their needs and concerns.

Dr. Nduom thanked the people for the support they have given to him as their Member of Parliament. He introduced Mr. J. B Eshun as the person he wants them to support to become his successor as their Member of Parliament. He asked for their support so that one of their own who is also the best candidate in the race could become the President of the country. He asked them to remember what the CPP under President Nkrumah did for them by putting a sugar factory in Komenda which benefited thousands of people and promised that as “Edwumawura” he and the CPP will bring back jobs lost over the years so that hope can come back to the area. He answered questions on electricity particularly the need for meters for old and new houses, the cocoa high tech project and his participation in the Kufuor administration. As the one who introduced the cocoa high tech project in the area, Dr. Nduom explained that the project which was initiated in 2004 is to benefit everyone who signed up for it originally and is not meant for partisan political purpose. He assured the people that the CPP has caught on very well all over Ghana and will win the elections this year. He asked them to consider the crises in their pockets and vote for change and bring the CPP back to power because the people deserve better. He told them that the region that has educated many Ghanaians and whose people have served Ghana very well in the public sector deserve to send its son to the highest office of the land particularly one who has prepared himself well for the Presidency like himself.

He later met with the executives and Parliamentary Candidates for the Cape Coast and KEEA constituencies to strategise on how the CPP can win the majority of Parliamentary seats and Presidential votes in the Central Region this year. He was impressed with the level of confidence and readiness to work exhibited by the executives.

Dr. Nduom also went to Komenda to mourn with the people and family of the late Nana Yaw Ankomah II also known as Frank Ekow Eshun who became the Member of Parliament for the Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abrem constituency after the 1979 elections.
