The Convention People’s Party (CPP) has distanced itself from a petition reportedly being prepared by its former running mate, Wayoe Ghanamannti, seeking the removal of President John Dramani Mahama from office.
In a statement dated Wednesday, October 22, 2025, and signed by the party’s Chairperson and Leader, Comrade Wing Commander Patrick Nelson Sogbodjor, the CPP made it clear that its leadership has not sanctioned any such move.
“It has come to the attention of the Convention People’s Party, that its former Flagbearer’s running mate in the 2024 Presidential Elections, stated on a television programme recently, that he has petitioned Parliament, to remove His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama, from office as President,” the statement read.
The party emphasized that “its Central Committee, the highest administrative organ of the Party, has not sanctioned such a move,” urging the public to disregard any attempts to associate the CPP with the petition.
Mr. Ghanamannti, who was the running mate to the CPP’s 2024 flagbearer, had earlier announced plans to petition Parliament to initiate impeachment proceedings against President Mahama.
He accused the President of breaching his oath of office by failing to address illegal mining (galamsey), which he claimed has caused severe environmental damage and economic losses.
But the CPP insists that Mr. Ghanamannti’s action was a personal decision and does not reflect the party’s official position.
“Any attempts by anyone whatsoever, to associate the Party with the Petition, should kindly be disregarded,” the CPP concluded.
