Nduom: I'll Not Respond...

The founder of the Progressive People�s Party (PPP), Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom, has stated that he will not respond to the CPP�s continuous attempts to draw him into issues relating to their party. The CPP�s head of Research and Strategic Planning Committee, Kwabena Benyarko, on Wednesday challenged Dr. Nduom to officially resign from the party within two weeks or face a dismissal. Dr. Nduom, who announced his defection from the CPP a couple of weeks ago, however, told Citi News that he was not perturbed by the party� detractions. �I really do not wish to be engaging CPP people on CPP matters, I am with the political movement that is being transformed into becoming the Progressive People�s Party and I don�t want to be distracted in anyway,� he said. �Some people want some kind of publicity in an indirect way and I will not indulge in that,� Dr. Nduom said. About 200 members of the CPP including the executives in the Northern region and the KEEA constituency have crossed carpet to Dr. Nduom�s new political movement, the PPP.
