Dr. Daniel Augustus Lartey Junior has been named the Great Consolidated Popular Party’s (GCPP) flagbearer for the next elections on December 7.
Dr. Lartey received official endorsements from national party executives at a congress that took place at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel in Accra.
The sixteen regions of Ghana sent delegates to this general conference.
Dr. Daniel Augustus Lartey was unanimously chosen by the members to be the party’s flagbearer, and the Director of Elections at the Electoral Commission subsequently affirmed this choice.
Together with other national officials, Henry Lartey, the former flagbearer and older brother of Dr. Lartey Junior, was also elected as the party’s chairman.
During his speech, Dr. Lartey pledged to improve the party’s domestication policies if elected, emphasizing technology-driven agriculture in particular.
He underlined the need of reviving agriculture, pointing out that it used to be Ghana’s main source of income.
The GCPP flagbearer promised to give farmers the resources they need to make sure that people can cultivate and market the products of their land.
The General Secretary of the GCPP, Citizen Ato Dadzie, expressed his unhappiness with the government’s inability to properly address illegal mining and the ensuing devastation of water bodies and forest reserves.
He said that the GCPP-led administration would be able to address the environmental damage brought on by illegal mining, pointing out that the current war on “galamsey,” or illicit mining, has become politicized and is impeding any significant advancement.
