Since 2007, two parties which have their roots deep seated in Nkrumah’s ideologies -Convention Peoples Party (CPP) and the People’s National Convention (PNC) have held several talks in a bid to unite their front to become strong enough to annex power from the two major parties the NDC and the NPP.

All these talks over the years have not yielded any positive results leaving the CPP and the PNC scrambling for less than one percent of total votes cast at the end of the 2008 and 2012 elections.

A third Nkrumahist party, Progressive Peoples Party (PPP) was formed after its founder, Dr. Papa Kwesi Ndoum broke away from the CPP which he had represented as a flagbearer in 2008.

Speaking in an interview on Joy Fm, National Chairman of the CPP, Professor Edmund Delle hinted that plans are in place to get the other parties to join the CPP since it is the only Nkrumahist party cleared by the Electoral Commission to contest in the 2016 elections.

He said “one of the disadvantages of the smaller parties and even the CPP is the syndrome of vote wasting. When I took over as leader of the party I said no. That syndrome of vote wasting must stop because we are poised as a party to do the best we can.

“We are talking to our brothers in the other parties who are of the Nkrumahist tradition that even if the time is very short that we were not able to have a united front, at least on the ground maybe for the parliamentary seats and you see that a fellow Nkrumahist party is strong here, we all should support them, like we did in Talensi.

“In Talensi we realised that the PNC was stronger so we in the CPP said we are here to support you and the candidate faired so well and it was a signal that if we unite our forces we’ll do very well as an Nkrumahist family.”
