Greetings and thank you for visiting my website! I am encouraging all visitors to join the campaign to Change Ghana by supporting the Convention People’s Party (CPP) in the 2008 Presidential Elections!

I was elected the Presidential Candidate of a renewed CPP in December, 2007. The party has been strengthened with new leaders such as Mr. Ladi Nylander, Mr. Ivor Greenstreet, Mrs. Susan Adu-Amankwah, Mr. Mike Eghan, Hajia Hamdatu, Mr. Eric Benyarko, Ms. Araba Bentsi-Enchill and Dr. Abu Sakara. The youth including students at the universities and polytechnics are joining the CPP in significant numbers. We are recruiting credible, popular parliamentary candidates to provide a local backbone to our national campaign. We are on course to register over 250,000 members throughout Ghana to form the back bone of my campaign organization.

I will reduce the size of government and make it efficient. I will give direct support to the Ghanaian private sector with money, technical advice, tax incentives and ensuring that those who invest have a market. I will fight corruption by making the Office of the Attorney General independent from the Ministry of Justice to remove the influence of politicians. I will give the nation back to the people by ensuring that they elect their own District Chief Executives and all members of the Assembly. I will strengthen Parliament by working to remove the constitutional provision that allows Ministers of State to serve as Parliamentarians and give the legislature the resources they need. I will build an inter-region highway to open up the entire country to development ant investment. I will implement solutions to meet the basic needs of the people for good drinking water, electricity, safe roads, stardardised quality schools and healthy communities throughout the country. I will encourage Ghanaians Abroad by establishing a Homecoming Secretariat to assist them to buy land, build houses, compete for job opportunities, invest, bring their hard-earned assets to Ghana.

I am running a positive campaign. Ghanaians know the conditions they live in. What the people need is hope and a leader who will give them solutions to their problems. They need someone who will preside over government to implement solutions with a sense of urgency and diligence. I believe that I am that person. My track record in government and the private sector backs this up. I believe in inclusiveness and using the best people we have to achieve great results for all Ghanaians in the shortest possible time. I know how government can be used for the good of the people and in the national interest. I will change politics of hate and vindictiveness that tears our people apart and rewards people willing to play extreme partisan games to politics of hope for all of our people.


Ghanaians deserve better. They deserve the best leader. Yes, you can change Ghana!

Press Release - First Time Voters
Written by Editor   
We are satisfied with the response of first time voters across the country on the first day of the limited opening of the voters register.  They are lining up to be registered by the representatives of the Electoral Commission.  The Electoral Commission today, July 31, 2008 opened its register so that those who were not 18 years old and could not vote in 2004 could now register to vote come December 2008.  We encourage all Ghanaians who have reached the age of 18 to make sure that they register so that they can exercise their right of citizenship during the crucial elections in December.

Press Release - Finance Minister Must Resign
Written by Editor   
The report in the Daily Graphic that the Minister of Finance and Economic Planning, the Hon. Kwadwo Baah-Wiredu is giving critics of the controversial sale of 70% of Ghana Telecom to Vodafone 24 hours to come up with an alternative is both cowardly and demonstrates the inability of the Minister to deal with the difficult financial situation that has been created by the current NPP administration.  The NPP administration was voted into power to solve problems by offering solutions that are credible and that are in the national interest.  It was not voted into power to spend the record levels of revenues generated, accumulate debt and then demand that we sell all government assets to bail them out.  What happens next when the only thing left to sell are Ghanaians themselves?

If the sale of Ghana Telecom was “advertised” in the 2005 budget, what took his government so long in bringing the details of the transaction to the knowledge of the public?  When did the administration receive a valuation of GT?  How much was it valued at and who did it?  We demand that the document be made public and for the public to be told which Cabinet meeting was furnished with the information and as a result approved the sale at the price offered by Vodafone.  Indeed when did his administration give Parliament the details of the transaction?

Speech at African Diaspora Heritage Trail
Written by Editor   

STATEMENT MADE BY DR PAPA KWESI NDUOM, MP, & PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OF THE CONVENTION PEOPLE’S PARTY (CPP) AT THE AFRICAN DIASPORA HERITAGE TRAIL CONFERENCE IN BERMUDA, JULY 28, 2008 

Ladies and gentlemen:

My purpose is to take a political view on the African Diaspora Heritage and make the promise that I will make what we have been discussing here a reality in Ghana by bring into being a Homecoming Secretariat that will among other things make it easier to Africans to tell their story and work for a better, proud future.  In terms of recent political history, a link was established between Ghana and the United States of America in the 1930s.  I want to strengthen and make this link productive in the interest of the African Diaspora Heritage Trail when I become the next President of the Republic of Ghana on January 7, 2009, God willing. 

Ghana has a recent historic reason to be an important location and the mover for establishing the Heritage Trail movement firmly in Africa in a way that will tell our history and lead us to a prosperous, glorious future as a people.  The idea is to make Ghana a proud place for Africans all over the world in the same way that Israel has become a proud place for the Jewish people all over the world.
