The First Vice-Chairperson of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Onsy Kwame Nkrumah, has challenged the legitimacy of the current Convention People’s Party chairperson, Nana Frimpongmaa Kumankuma.
He maintains that when Mrs. Kumankuma stood for the position of Chairperson of the party in August 2020, she secured only 43 percent of the total votes cast nationally, which was short of the constitutional requirement of the party’s 50 percent + 1 minimum requirement.
He is therefore contending that she “has not been validly elected by CPP Delegates as Chairperson and leader of the party, and cannot hold herself out as such.”
Mr. Nkrumah wants a declaration that Mrs. Kumankuma, having not been validly elected as Chairperson and leader of the Party, cannot carry out any CPP Executive function or participate in any such CPP Executive activities.
He also says all decisions, as well any contractual arrangement made by Mrs. Kumankuma, should not be binding on the Party.
He further wants an order directed at Mrs. Kumankuma “to render account for the period she held herself out as Chairperson of the Party, including tangible and intangible assets, donations, contributions, etc., that she has superintended over.”
