The Convention People’s Party (CPP) is to embark on a massive
nationwide awareness campaign starting from the 23rd of this month
(July), a day after the launch of the party’s manifesto, and the entire
month of August.
The
campaign will involve intense media representation by members of the
party’s publicity team and other members of the party’s campaign team.
They
are expected to explain the contents of the party’s manifesto, the
ten-point agenda of the party’s Presidential Candidate and also to
assess and monitor the performance of polling station agents recruited
by the party to register first time voters and others who are
interested in joining the CPP.
The party would also be holding mini rallies that will cover all ten regions in the month of August.
As
part of the awareness drive, the publicity team and some members of the
campaign team would make appearances on radio stations in all ten
regions of the country.
They include Ashanti, Eastern,
Western, Central and the three Northern Regions. The rest are Brong
Ahafo, Greater Accra and Volta Regions.
The group would also
be explaining the party’s position on many national issues as well as
other novelty concepts that have been introduced into this year’s
campaign by the CPP.
The group would for instance be
explaining the rational behind the introduction of the highly commended
Night Encounter with the Homeless campaign which kick-started at
Agbogbloshie market in Accra last week.
They would be meeting
with the Tertiary Students Chapters of the Convention People’s Party
(TESCHART) and find out from them how far they have gone with their
membership registration exercise.
The party will hold its first Regional rally at Bogoso in the Western Region and continue at Winneba in the Central Region.
That
would be followed by similar ones at Pusiga in the Upper East Region,
Nandom in Upper West and Chereponi in the Northern Region.
In
the Greater Accra Region, Dodowa is earmarked as the venue for the
rally with Ofoase Ayerebi as the venue for the Eastern Region and
Kejebi for the Volta rally.
The party has chosen Ofoase Kokoben in Ashanti Region as the campaign venue and Tuobodom in the Brong Ahafo Region.
According
to the CPP leadership the selection of these areas were carefully made
to conform to the legendary CPP organization at the grassroots level.
