The Convention People’s Party (CPP) has thrown its weight behind President John Dramani Mahama’s initiative to reset the country, calling on all Ghanaians to rally behind the vision.
In a statement issued on Thursday, March 6, the CPP praised President Mahama’s decision to scale down the 68th Independence Anniversary Commemoration, which saved the nation GHS13.5 million, representing 90% of the previous cost.
The CPP noted that it had previously called for a boycott of Independence Day celebrations until the country was in a better state. The party’s statement quoted its previous calls for change, including social media campaigns and street engagements launched as far back as 2012.
“The initiative to scale down the Independence Celebrations, as part of the reset agenda by His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama, is indeed laudable,” the statement read.
The CPP also highlighted a significant moment during the recent National Economic Dialogue, where speakers acknowledged that the economic success of the First Republic under the CPP remains unmatched to this day and should be a model for the nation’s progress.
“This was indeed a humbling admission, and the CPP is proud to have set a high standard of positive achievements during its time in power,” the statement added.
