Nana Yaa Jantuah, the General Secretary of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), has resigned from her position following a petition presented during the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Kumasi on December 5.
CPP members from various parts of the country submitted a petition to the NEC, urging the voluntary resignation or removal of all national executives of the Nkrumahist party due to alleged incompetence. Subsequently, a vote of no confidence was passed against all national executives, leading to significant discord during the meeting.
Nana Yaa Jantuah acknowledged her departure, stating, “I am gone. I believe I’ve fulfilled my duties as the General Secretary of the CPP. I am no longer in that role. In due course, I will inform everyone about my political allegiance. For now, it’s time for family and friends. I will focus on spending time with my loved ones.”
She added, “In political parties, you do not cling to positions. I have served in this role for the past three years, and everyone has witnessed it. If my constituents feel otherwise, I cannot impose myself on them.”
Elected as the General Secretary in August 2020, Nana Yaa Jantuah’s departure prompted the formation of a thirteen-member interim body. This interim body comprises regional chairmen, a council of elders member, regional secretaries, regional organizers, and representatives of women and youth, who will take over the responsibilities of the outgoing executives.
