Full-fledged investigations have found evidence that three-time failed presidential candidate of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP), Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom is desperately persuading his son, Nana Kweku Nduom to take up the leadership mantle of the PPP.
Close associates of Dr Nduom say the property mogul sees his eldest son as his ‘political heir’ and has never concealed that during party meetings. Dr Nduom believes Nana Kweku has arduously worked his way up to position himself as the future leader of the party and thus stands a better chance of steering the affairs of a political party he has sunk millions into over the years.
Dr Nduom’s considerable investment into the PPP to become a third force on Ghana’s political landscape has largely been described by his critics a “waste of time” and demanded he channels his vast resources to one of the established political party, where his political dream could become a reality.
PPP’s electoral performance
After being compelled to take the hard decision of quitting the CPP, Dr Nduom formed the Progressive People’s Party (PPP) in an audacious move to be relevant in Ghana’s politics.After securing its final certificate from the Electoral Commission, the PPP contested the general elections with Dr Nduom as its presidential candidate.
Despite the relentless and much financed campaign, the PPP only secured a meager 64,362 of the total valid votes cast representing 0.59% of the votes.
The party repeated its third position in the 2016 elections by after romping home with 105,682, which represented 1% of the total valid votes.

Which way are you choosing, the narrow or the broad? Heaven or Hell? Remember it is appointed unto man to die once and after that the judgement day. Hell is very real just like heaven. You can only make heaven at last when you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal saviour. Choose Him today and your life will never be the same. Pray t God to direct you to a good church near you and seek help.
A very positive move and good value for Ghanaian politics. Smart leaders is what we need now. Hope he would conform to laid down democratic principles within the party.
These are the type of modern day leaders Ghana need a Princeton alumni one of the best ivy schools in the u.s.a not the Nii Lantey Vanderpuye type,Koku Anyidoho,Kofi Adams ,Fred Agbenyo,Fiifi Kwettey,Ablakwah and those babies with sharp teeth in the ndc who think they are on top of the world in their own little world by insulting with impunity and showing arrogance and disrespect to everyone in Ghana just because of a party that lacks human resource. Nana Kweku welcome on board but bare in mind you are going to face ani maals from the ndc side who will display their primitive,***barred word*** and uncultured attitude in Ghana politics,people who do not understand Osagyefo's forever backwards never stance so always want to drag this country to the stone age time but we shall overcome.
