The General Secretary of the Convention People Party (CPP), Nana Yaa Jantuah, has resigned from her position following a petition presented at the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Kumasi yesterday.
The members of the party across the country petitioned the NEC to force all the national executives to either resign voluntarily or be removed from their positions over their alleged incompetence.
This led to the passage of a vote of no confidence in all the national executives which led to significant misunderstanding during the meeting.
In a brief media address after the meeting, Nana Yaa Jantuah disclosed that she would soon announce her next line of action.
“I am gone. I think I’ve done what I have to do. I’m no longer the General Secretary of the CPP. In due course, I will let everybody know where my political allegiance will be. For now, it’s time for family and friends. I’m going to spend time with my family and friends,” she said
She added that she was going to focus more on her business and was of the view that other people can equally perform well in her previous role.
“In political parties, you do not hold on to things. I have done what I have to do these past three years and everybody has seen it. If my people say they do not want me, I can’t force myself on them,” she explained.
Nana Yaa Jantuah assumed the role of General Secretary of the CPP in August 2020.
A thirteen-member interim body has since been constituted to take over from the exiting executives.
They comprise of the regional chairmen, a member of the council of elders, regional secretaries, regional organizers, and some representatives of women and youth.
