Dr Paa Kwesi Nduom, presidential candidate of the Convention People's Party (CPP) has said the party would not support either National Democratic Congress (NDC) or New Patriotic Party (NPP) as being alleged.
He said CPP is a strong and independent party that is running its campaign and contesting vigorously to win Election 2008 on equal footing with all the other political parties.
Dr Nduom was addressing separate rallies at Tatale and Zabzugu in Zabzugu/Tatale District and Mion in Yendi Municipality during which he introduced their parliamentary candidates to the electorate.
Mr Iddrisu Adam Yakubu, a-60-year-old retired teacher is contesting the Mion seat and Mr. Adam Azima a-42-year-old teacher for Zabzugu/Tatale. The Saboba Constituency has Mr. Penaja Bismarck Nyakal as CPP parliamentary candidate.
Dr Nduom said those peddling the rumour that CPP is working for either NDC or NPP are afraid of the growing strength of the party and the in-roads it is making on the political terrain.
He deplored the poor road network and health facilities in the areas he visited and promised that a CPP government would improve upon them.
Dr Nduom said both NDC and NPP had "done their best when they were in power but their best was not enough" therefore there was the need for a change.
He said CPP is the best alternative for that change and promised that a CPP government would re-activate all abandoned projects of Nkrumah regime and establish more factories to create employment for the people as a way of putting money in their pockets.
He said a CPP government would ensure that Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives and assembly members are elected to make them accountable to the people.
Dr Nduom promised to make education from the kindergarten to Senior High School (SHS) level free.
