Nduom: The Political Imp Of The Perverse

Human society designates to a large extent some sort of human interaction to
control and manage public life, hence politics. Strangely, in the
anti-neocolonial struggle in Ghana someone has been exposed to be causing
the growth of transformation of the CPP from a socialist political
organisation into a property-owning party both in form and content. The new
identity could be described as the political imp of the perverse.

In June 2011 Paa Kwesi Nduom commissioned a so-called exploratory research
to examine his viability and visibility as a presidential candidate in 2012
elections. The so-called exploratory research arrived at a conclusion which
was already self-anticipated in August 2011. In order for the so-called
report’s conclusion to plead Nduom’s anticipated results of his viability,
interestingly, he reviews the conclusion and recommendation of the report.
In September 2011, there was news about attempts by Nduom not to contest for
the CPP flagbearship. For the avoidance of doubt, in one of my recent
articles published on ghanaweb-“*Did Kwesi Nduom take first step to leave
the CPP*” (
https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/artikel.php?ID=221196), I
considered reasons to his announcement as perhaps because of the outcome of
the just ended delegate’s congress, the contents of leaked US diplomatic
cables and recent uncontested fraud allegations by the out gone youth
organiser, Kabila, against him.

Contrary to his earlier announcement not to contest for the party’s
flagbearership, Nduom has just announced his intention to formally declare to
contest for the presidency in 2012 on the ticket of the Convention People’s
Party. Who does he think he is deceiving? Certainly he is deeply exposing
himself as a person with a deep self-contradictory character.

Another contradiction about him has been exposed for his public relations
gimmick in opening party offices? Even though party offices are relevant to
administering political party activities at the constituency level, what
could have actually compelled Kwesi Nduom to all of a sudden commit his
abundant wealth to the opening of party offices when he had the opportunity
to do so in all his past years in the party? Perhaps, the accusation in my
feature article on August 15, 2011 “*Samia rebuilds the CPP as Nduom
continues to destroy Nkrumaism*” where I stated that “…*after reflecting on
this part of her [Samia] statement I became exceedingly amazed about Dr. Paa
Kwesi Nduom launch for another campaign** **to become the party’s flagbearer
for 2012. How does one’s selfish desire of flag bearer leads to the building
of a well-organised political party which is representative of the broad
mass of the people? A comrade called me and said this man is probably
unscientific in politics. Perhaps he may be good in making profits but has
failed to appreciate what the CPP seeks to achieve and build in Ghana.*”(

A major reason for his public relations gimmick could be because he just saw
the need to contest for the party’s flagbeareship. Of course, this perhaps
answers the question most. Nduom contested in the 2008 elections but didn’t
see the need to commit such heavy cash load of money to the opening of party
offices. Having been seriously frightened by the awakening of Ghanaians over
his incredibility and imperialist manifestations he therefore resorts to the
opening of offices to neutralize the situation.



For some of us within the CPP, it would be prudent to attempt finding out
why Nduom is so desirous of becoming a flagbearer amidst the new leadership
not having organised its Central Committee meeting to consider modalities
for the intra-party presidential and parliamentary process and appointment
of all deputies to elected executives; dep. General secretary, dep.
Treasurer, dep. Women’s organiser, dep. Organiser and dep. Youth Organiser.



The attempt by Nduom, among other acts and conducts, to declare his ambition
on October 19 has indeed exposed him for his inconsistency as someone just
simply so desirous of becoming a presidential flagbearer. Since the
dissolution of the Central Committee, the newly-elected executives have not
given the go ahead to open primaries for presidential and parliamentary
results. Therefore, he must understand that CPP is more important for growth
than one’s presidential agenda. Any attempt by Dr. Nduom to launch a
campaign would be illegal and undermine the authority of the national
executives.
