THE Great Consolidated Popular Party (GCPP) has postponed its national congress from February 24, 2008 to May 3, 2008.
The leader of the party told the Daily Graphic that the party executives took the decision on Wednesday “due to circumstances beyond our control”.
He said the venue, the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), however, remained unchanged.
The congress would be used to elect the party’s presidential candidate and national executives for the December polls.
He said the current popularity of the party was the result of the effective measures being put in place to enable it win power in December, this year.
“All the other parties are trembling because of our current popularity”, he said and explained that “ the domestication policy is catching on with the people”.
Mr Lartey said the party was also preparing well in order to win more seats in Parliament to enable it implement its policies.
He said the party would not play with power as other parties had done, and explained that “we will use power to enhance the living conditions of Ghanaians”.
“This is not a joke; the party means business and we will take other parties by storm”, he said.
