A two-day photo exhibition on the works and activities of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Dr Kwame Nkrumah and other leading members of the party ended in Accra yesterday.
The exhibition, which took place at the Museums and Monuments Board, also depicted activities of the party from the pre-independence era to the time of the Limann Administration.
Opening the exhibition, Ms Samia Nkrumah, the daughter of Dr Kwame Nkrumah and Member of Parliament (MP) for Jomoro, said there was every reason to believe that with a little effort from all the members of the CPP, they could enhance the fortunes of the party and win elections in the near future.
She called on the leadership of the party to whip up enthusiasm within the party to resource it to embark on massive membership drive.
This, she said, would make the party attractive, especially to the youth.
Other leading members of the party who graced the occasion include Mr Ladi Nylander, the National Chairman of the CPP, Prof Agyeman Badu Akosa and Dr Kwaku Osafo, both presidential aspirants in the CPP, Prof Esi Sutherland-Addy and Dr Thomas Aidoo, both lecturers at the University of Ghana, Legon.
The occasion also attracted a large crowd of people, which was mainly made up of the youth who were singing CPP songs.
The pictures included those taken when Dr Kwame Nkrumah first entered the Osu Christianborg Castle as the head of government business, Dr Nkrumah’s arrival from the United Kingdom to the Gold Coast as the Prime minister.
Others were Dr Nkrumah’s arrival ceremony in the US, the work of the Young Pioneers, Organisation of African Union conferences and a meeting between Dr Hilla Limann, the President of the Third Republic, and members of Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC) under the leadership of Flt Lt Jerry John Rawlings.
