Ivor Greenstreet gets landslide victory to become 2020 CPP flagbearer
A former flagbearer of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Ivor Kobina Greenstreet has been elected to be flagbearer for the 2020 elections.
Mr. Greenstreet at the party’s primaries held on Saturday, August 22, 2020 in the Eastern Region polled 213 votes against Bright Akwetey’s 27 and Divine Ayivor’s 14 votes.
This will be the second time Mr. Greenstreet will be getting the nod to take a shot at the presidency.

Meanwhile, the party’s national executives’ election saw new leaders taking up the mantle of leadership.
