The Electoral Commission Thursday presented a provisional license to the PPP. The party was formed last year after the 2008 flag-bearer of the Convention Peoples’ Party (CPP), Dr Paa Kwesi Nduom broke away.
The activities of the party were stalled due to the delay in securing the provisional license.
Kwame Nkrumah thought the UGCC's opposition to the colonial rulers lacked the necessary vehemence and urgency; he wanted immediate independence. Breaking from the UGCC on these grounds, he founded the CPP with the motto "self-government now".
This only increased Nkrumah's popularity. When general elections were held in 1951, the CPP won decisively despite the imprisonment of Dr Nkrumah and other party leaders. Nkrumah was subsequently released to form the colony's first African government.The final step was heavily rigged referendum in 1964 which made the CPP the only legal party, with Nkrumah as president for life of both nation and party.
Dr Paa Kwesi Nduom broke from Convention Peoples’ Party (CPP) to be the leader and the founder of Progressive People’s Party (PPP) and now want to be the president of the Republic of Ghana.
The youth of Ghana is highly support PPP 2012 election as some group join as some slogan goes (PPP"the youth" ) .
