The Convention People’s Party (CPP) Council of Elders has dissolved the party’s eight-member Independent Committee, citing incompetence, misconduct, and failure to execute their mandate. The committee, chaired by Wing Commander (rtd) Patrick Nelson Sogbodjor, was accused of refusing to render financial accounts, engaging in deception, and subjecting party members to harassment, victimization, and intimidation.
The dissolution follows a Consent Judgment issued by an Accra High Court after a 2023 legal dispute between Isaac Kwaku Annan and the CPP. The court directed the committee to supervise constituency, regional, and national elections, but they failed to do so for 18 months.
The Council of Elders will now oversee the implementation of the Consent Judgment and lead the reconstitution of internal election processes across all levels of the party. The CPP has called on its members to remain resolute and conduct themselves with decorum, emphasizing its commitment to transparency, accountability, and discipline.
