2012 CPP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE ABU SAKARA GOES INDEPENDENT

2012 Presidential Candidate for the Conventions People’s Party, Dr Abu Sakara has announced that he will contest as an independent Presidential Candidate in the 2016 general election.  In a statement, Dr Abu Sakara stated that the purpose will be to provide a more focused national interest platform on which he can truly build national consensus around the key issues that will really transform the nation for the good of all Ghanaians. He said his candidacy will galvanize momentum for real fundamental change in the approach to the many challenges that continue to hold Ghanaians back from realizing their true potential and vision as a nation and as Africans. According to him, his decision to go independent comes after months of contemplation and consultation with my close advisors, supporters and other well meaning Ghanaians from all walks of life. He indicated in the statement that during this period he also sought the best cause of action to help build the party to which I belonged around the core principles and values that drew me to it. Alas the attitudes, conduct and misplaced priorities that still dominate decision making in the party has left him convinced that his resources, energy and talent can be put to more productive purpose as an independent Presidential Candidate. The statement said he will shortly announce at a press conference further details of his objectives,  his national campaign team, his running mate, his symbol and give a time table for the launch of his manifesto for the national campaign.
