Suspended National Youth Organiser of the CPP, Ernesto Yeboah, has said he does not recognise a decision by the party to suspend him.

Addressing the youth of the party in his office at the party’s headquarters in Accra, Ernesto Yeboah said he is still at post as he is yet to receive an official letter from the party four days after a media announcement of a decision to suspend him and the party's General Secretary.

He said he would decide his next course of action if he receives any letter to that effect.

Some of the youth at the meeting have however vowed to ensure that he gets back into office.

The two were suspended by the Central Committee of the party.

Akomfrah and Ernesto Yeboah had openly criticised the flag bearer of the party, Ivor Greenstreet after he said there was nothing wrong with Mahama’s decision to accept the car gift from the said contractor.

They subsequently petitioned the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice over the matter, arguing that the president disregarded the guidelines on conflict of interest in accepting the vehicle gift.

The Disciplinary Committee of the party has however given the two the opportunity to defend themselves.
