Under the direction of presidential candidate Nana Frimpomaa Akosua Komankoma, the Convention People’s Party (CPP) has unveiled its audacious and revolutionary “Women’s Manifesto.”
The party launched this policy document at a press conference in Accra on Tuesday, calling it a road map for social inclusion, economic development, and political rebirth.
More than 1,000 party members, representatives of the media, and sympathizers from all over the nation attended the event, which was characterized by a strong show of solidarity and resolve. Nana Frimpomaa presented the manifesto to the crowd as a plan to free Ghana from inequality and reliance.
She declared, “This is a call to action, not just a manifesto.” The Women’s Manifesto is a blueprint for a Ghana in which all of the people, not only foreign investors or outside forces, have a stake in our success. It is a commitment to create a country that values independence, equality, and dignity.
Crucial Elements of the Women’s Manifesto
- Poverty Elimination by Modernized Agriculture and AgroSure
The manifesto places a strong emphasis on improving Ghana’s agriculture industry. The CPP’s main program, the AgroSure initiative, is to gradually phase out traditional farming methods and transition to commercial farming.
According to Nana Frimpomaa, “farmers will no longer toil just to survive.” “As we do in the cocoa industry, we will purchase all farm produce from Ghanaian farmers through AgroSure and assist them in becoming shareholders in cooperative ventures.”
In addition to guaranteeing food security and lowering dependency on imports, the strategy aims to empower farmers and build a more fair agricultural economy.
- GhanaBa Shares: Everyone’s Economic Empowerment
The GhanaBa Shares initiative, which aims to give 20 million Ghanaians a GH₵20,000 interest in domestic enterprises, is another audacious proposal.
According to Nana Frimpomaa, “for far too long, Ghana’s wealth has been siphoned off by foreign investors or concentrated in the hands of a select few.” “GhanaBa Shares is about economic justice—making sure that every Ghanaian directly benefits from this country’s resources.”
The CPP contends that this program will encourage community ownership and provide common people the ability to direct their own economic futures.
- Governance Right Outside Your Door
40,000 “Government-at-Your-Doorstep” centers, one at each polling place across the country, are to be established, according to the manifesto. By giving people a forum to express their issues, obtain necessary services, and communicate with local government leaders directly, these centers aim to make governance more accessible.
Nana Frimpomaa underlined, “This is about establishing a government that hears the people and works for them.” “These centers will serve as a focal point for addressing issues such as community development, disability support, and property rights.”
- Disability Representation and Inclusion
The CPP intends to set aside one seat for those with disabilities at each Government-at-Your-Doorstep center as part of its dedication to inclusivity. Nana Frimpomaa stated, “This policy guarantees that governance is genuinely representative and that no one is left behind.”
- Free University-Level Education
The CPP has pledged to provide free education for all children up to the university level in order to address Ghana’s persistent educational issues.
According to Nana Frimpomaa, “if our children are denied access to education, we cannot build a strong nation.” “Every Ghanaian child will have the chance to realize their full potential thanks to this policy.”
Reclaiming the Heritage of Ghana
The occasion also served as a platform for the CPP to emphasize its resolve to recover Ghana’s identity and restore the party’s historical assets. As part of Ghana’s national heritage, Nana Frimpomaa demanded the restitution of properties taken from the CPP during political unrest.
“This is a demand, not a plea,” she stated forcefully. “These assets must be returned to their rightful owners because they belong to the people of Ghana.”
In addition, the platform suggests changing Jubilee House’s name back to Flagstaff House, which the party claims will respect Ghana’s rich historical heritage.
Cohesion and Political Assistance
Several influential people from a wide range of political backgrounds attended the event, which was noteworthy for its widespread political appeal. Independent presidential candidate Dr. Asiseh declared his intention to support Nana Frimpomaa by dropping out of the contest.
Dr. Asiseh said, “This manifesto embodies the kind of vision and leadership Ghana sorely needs.”
CPP General Secretary Comrade Kwame Nkrumah Botoe and Women’s Organizer Comrade Hajia Hamdatu also spoke at the ceremony, demonstrating the party’s cohesion and resolve.
A Route to Independence
During her remarks, Nana Frimpomaa reaffirmed the CPP’s resolve to halt Ghana’s dependency circle.
She declared, “We have been a country of importers for far too long.” From matches to final products, we depend on others to supply what we ought to and can manufacture ourselves. That is what the Women’s Manifesto is all about—building businesses, jobs, and wealth in Ghana itself.
In order to spur innovation and lessen dependency on the export of raw materials, the CPP envisions investment in industrial centers and technology.
An Urgent Appeal
Nana Frimpomaa made a strong appeal to action as she wrapped up her speech. “This manifesto represents a pledge to all Ghanaians, not just a list of promises. But we can’t do this by ourselves. We must have your power, togetherness, and support in order to create a Ghana in which we can all take pride.
The Women’s Manifesto presents the CPP as a party with a distinct and ambitious strategy to change Ghana as the nation enters election season. It remains to be seen if the electorate will accept this vision, but there is no denying that the CPP has given the political discourse new vitality.
