CPP passes vote of no confidence in Central Regional Chairman

Elmina, May 22, GNA - The Central Regional Executive Committee of the Convention People's Party (CPP) has passed a vote of no confidence in its Regional Chairman, Safohene Araba Bentsil Enchil.

A resolution adopted and signed by members of the Executive Committee at an emergency meeting at Elmina on Saturday, said Safohene Enchil functioned as the First National Vice-Chairperson of the party and due the many positions she held she was unable to devote her full attention to the Region.

They accused her of possessing undemocratic tendencies and inefficiency in helping to re-organise the party.

The resolution said funds raised in the name of the party were dissipated according to her whims and caprices without the knowledge of the Regional Executives particularly the Regional Treasurer. It said she usurped the role of executive members at all levels. The resolution said she would not have the time to sacrifice to ensure that the party gained strength and credibility. Meanwhile Safohene Bentsil Enchil has been replaced with Mr Solomon Boamah, the Regional First Vice Chairman.
