It is, therefore, “the hope of the CPP that the feast will inspire us to work to maintain the peace in the country”. Ghana will be heading to the polls on December 7 to elect a president and parliamentarians to manage the affairs of the country for the next four years. The CPP also believes this year is the time for them to return to power after the party was overthrown in 1966 and has not gone anywhere near the presidency since then.
