Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr., has disclosed that the Convention People�s Party (CPP) had planned to select Madam Eva Lokko, former Director-General of the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) as running mate of Abu Sakara, the party's flag-bearer. Madam Eva Lokko was on Wednesday confirmed as the running mate of Papa Kwesi Nduom, flag-bearer of the Progressive People�s Party (PPP). An official statement signed by Kofi Asamoah-Siaw, National Secretary of the PPP said the decision was arrived at after a long and rigorous selection process. The statement said Madam Lokko�s character, background and experience were ground breaking in Ghanaian politics. But in a shocking revelation on Peace FM�s �Kokrokoo� morning show, Kwesi Pratt disclosed that plans were far advanced to make the former GBC Dir-Gen, the CPP�s 2012 Vice-Presidential candidate and wondered what might have occurred for her to have now become Dr Nduom�s running mate. �CPP was negotiating with Madam Eva Lokko to be it's running mate. She had been slated to become the running mate of Dr. Abu Sakara because she was a CPP member. So what happened for the stables to turn and for her to become the running mate for PPP? All of a sudden�she is named Nduom's running mate,� Kwesi Pratt said. He however wished Madam Eva Lokko well in her new political position.
