Can Nduom re-invent himself under the new PPP?

The Progressive People's Party (PPP) are a new political movement in Ghana headed by the long-term presidential aspirant Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom. Dr Nduom broke away from the CPP at the end of last year to head the new party. The inaugural party convention was held today (Saturday 25th February) at the Accra sports stadium. The PPP aims to 'reinvent' Ghana; reinvent 'our attitudes, our way of life, and our way of life as Ghanaians'. The PPP's ten point agenda can be read here. The party focuses on jobs, health and education- the undisputed problems that will be nothing new to Ghanaian voters. It is yet to be seen whether the public will see the PPP as a truly fresh political force in Ghana or merely the reinvention of struggling Ndoum who gained only 113,494 votes in the last election as flagbearer for the CPP.

Interestingly for constitutional scholars, the PPP makes it their priority if elected to repeal the practice of having the president select his ministers from the parliament, instead supporting a presidential constitution with clear separations of powers between the executive and legislature.

  1. Why did Ndioum break away from the CPP? How does the Ministry of Interior look upon his public declarations that he will create a new party (is the regime trying to subvert his attempt to do this)? This is fascinating.

  2. Good question. Well there was a feud between the current Chairwomen of the CPP - Nkrumah's daughter, Samia (who is the only CPP MP right now),- and Dr Nduom. She claimed he was undisciplined and ruining the moral of the party. The youth of the CPP also said they didn't want Dr Nduom as their presidential candidate (he was their candidate in 2008). It will be interesting to see if Samia ends up running as CPP presidential candidate, although she would have to give up her chances of remaining MP so maybe she won't.

    It should be noted that Nduom also had the option of setting up his own party because he is very rich, owning several popular hotels in Ghana.

  3. The Ministry of Interior will not be involved, this is the EC's role in Ghana. The EC have issued a provisional certificate for the PPP so they can contest.
