The General Secretary of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Nana Yaa Jantuah, has stepped down from her position following a petition presented at the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Kumasi on Tuesday.
Her resignation came after members of the party in all the regions petitioned the National Executive Council (NEC) to direct all the party’s national executives to tender their resignation letter willingly or be demoted over their ability to effectively work for the party.
The decision led to the passing of a vote of no confidence by the national executives, and this resulted in a feud within the party.
Addressing the press after the incident, Nana Yaa Jantuah revealed her intention to resign from the party.
“I am gone. I think I’ve done what I have to do. I’m no longer the General Secretary of the CPP. In due course, I will let everybody know where my political allegiance will be. For now, it’s time for family and friends. I’m going to spend time with my family and friends.
“For now, I’m going to concentrate on my business. They think some other people can do it better. In political parties, you do not hold on to things. I have done what I have to do these past three years, and everybody has seen it. If my people say they do not want me, I can’t force myself on them,” she reiterated.
