GCPP forms interim national executives

THE Great Consolidated Popular Party (GCPP) has formed an interim national executive as part of its re-organisation process to position it to contest the 2012 elections.
The move is also to nib in the bud unscrupulous people who would want to take undue advantage of the demise of Mr Dan Lartey, the founder of the party and use the name of the GCPP for dubious means.
Led by Dr Henry Lartey, the son of the Founder of the party, as the interim National Chairman, the other acting national executives are Mr Gilbert Bannor, First Vice Chairman; Madam Adelaine Dennison, Second Vice Chairman; Mr Alhassan Saeed, General Secretary; Pastor Harry Mettle, National Treasurer; Mr Alex Twum, Youth Organiser.
The rest are Joseph Owusu-Glover, Propaganda Secretary; Mr George Amoah, Executive Member; Mr Richard Holdze, National Organising Secretary; Ms Rita Bimpong, National Women Organiser; Mr King N. Amoah, National Education Secretary and Mrs A. Mahama Deputy Women Organiser.
The interim national executive had started forming interim regional executives throughout the ten regions of the country.
As a first step, the party had already inaugurated the Western Regional interim executive and charged them with the responsibility of reorganising the regional structures for effective membership drive.
The Western Regional interim executive are Mr Ahmed B. A. Bamba, Chairman; Mr Joseph Bevel, Vice Chairman; Mr Joseph Amanivor, Regional Secretary; Mr Francis Sekum, Organising Secretary; Madam Esther Boison, Education Secretary; Francis Panyin, Youth Organiser; Ms Baby Sekim, Women Organiser; Mary Esi Anti, Deputy Women Organiser; Mr Francis Sekum, Co-ordinator and Mr Seth Kofi Essuman, Deputy Organiser.
Briefing the Daily Graphic, Dr Lartey said the reorganisation was being done in accordance with the electoral regulations of the country and that after the polling stations had been organised, they would elect substantive constituency executives who would in turn elect new regional executives to replace all interim regional executives.
He added that this would be crowned with a national congress which would elect fresh national executive to replace the current interim national executive to run the affairs of the party for the next four years.
According to Mr Lartey, the current executive was in touch with the Electoral Commission (EC) which was providing it with proper advise on how to go about the processes.
Dr Lartey said the EC had assured it of its readiness to supervise all its constituency, regional and national executive elections and noted that that was a sign of great things for the party.
He added that the party was also positioning itself to be able to enter into any political alliance with any of the Nkrumaist political parties.
It said such an Nkrumaist political party must first put its house in order so that together with GCPP’s support, it would win political power and form the next government.
