Nana Yaa Jantuah, the General Secretary of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), has resigned from her position following a petition presented at the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Kumasi on December 5.
Members of the CPP from various regions petitioned the NEC to either prompt the voluntary resignation or removal of all national executives of the Nkrumahist party, citing alleged incompetence.
A vote of no confidence was passed in all national executives, leading to significant discord during the meeting.
Addressing the media afterward, Nana Yaa Jantuah announced her resignation, stating that she would reveal her future political direction in due course.
She emphasized the importance of respecting the will of the party members, expressing her intention to focus on family, friends, and her business.
Having assumed the role of General Secretary in August 2020, Nana Yaa Jantuah leaves her position, and a thirteen-member interim body, comprising regional chairmen, a council of elders member, regional secretaries, regional organizers, and representatives of women and youth, has been formed to replace the outgoing executives.
