A youth group who call themselves Papa Kwesi Ndoom (PKN) Volunteers have expressed optimism that the Convention Peoples� Party (CPP) is capable of clinching power from the incumbent National Democratic Congress (NDC) government in next year's general election. They said a little vibrancy in the party would ensure its victory in the election and that they had already started working hard to make the CPP more vibrant by touring the country to get all on aboard. The volunteers asserted that most Ghanaians had indicated their loss of trust in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for failing the country during their tenures of office in governance and as a result, they were now turning their hopes towards the CPP whose ideology could save Ghana from hardship. Mr Richard Nii Armah Nkunim, Coordinator for PKN Volunteers, expressed these views in an interview with the Ghana News Agency in Koforidua when the team met with some youth in the area to train more volunteers for the CPP towards 2012. He said, �our interactions with many people throughout Ghana indicate that, they are fed up with the NPP and the NDC; they say the CPP has a good vision to improve the economy and that they want to see a vibrant CPP. That is why we are going all out to get the youth into the party to make it more vibrant.� �The perception that the CPP is only for the aged is not true. More young persons have fallen in love with the CPP and Dr Ndoom as leader of the party, and this was realized at his campaign launch when he vowed to get the youth on board to gain victory in 2012,� Mr Nkunim stressed. The Coordinator appealed to the party executives to decentralize the distribution of Identity Cards and also to organize more outreach programmes so as to make the CPP more attractive to the Ghanaian populace. Mr Nkunim tasked each party executive to work hard at expanding their respective support base so as to gear up the party to win the 2012 elections.
