The Convention Peoples Party (CPP) has began a biometric identification cards registration for its members across the country.

The move according to the party is to help solve the party’s single digit votes syndrome at polling stations during national elections.

Speaking at the official launch and registration of the CPP's biometric membership ID cards on Friday at the party Headquarters, in Accra, Professor Edmund Nminyem Delle, the National Chairman of the Convention Peoples Party (CPP), indicated that the exercise is to revive the Nkrumaist party.

He added that quite often than not, the number of registered party members the CPP have, do not show up to vote at their various polling stations during national elections, thereby making the party to record single digits at some polling stations.

He said the launch of the membership biometric cards was the first of many steps the CPP was taking to revive the party formed by Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah to its glorious status.

He said even though the CPP was behind on the list of political parties to undergo the biometric membership card registration process, the idea was the first on the party priority list discussed at its National Congress held last year.

While making a rallying call to party members to register, Professor Delle said the biometric card would not only ensure the membership status of registered members but would also ensure that members are powered to contest for party positions at the branch, constituency, regional and national levels.

He expressed appreciation to the national executives committee for taking the decision to expedite action on the registration exercise and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for their financial support.

The cards are in categories of Platinum, which would cost GHC 1,000 and above, the Diamond GHC 750, Gold GHC 500, Silver GHC 300, Bronze GHC 200 and the Ordinary GHC 5 and above.
