The presidential candidate of the Convention Peoples Party (CPP) will take his turn today (Tuesday) at the Evening Encounter being organised by the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA).

The first presidential candidate to appear on the Evening Encounter was the PNC’s presidential candidate Dr. Edward Mahama. The platform will also give an equal opportunity to the NPP’ss Nana Akuffo Addo to also sell his vision a week after Mr. Greenstreet. After the presentation, a cross section of members of Ghana’s civil society present will cross-examine him. These encounters are prior to the Presidential and Vice Presidential Debates to be held in August.

Communications Director of the CPP Kadir Abdul Rauf Issifu said the party’s parliamentary candidate will outshine the other candidates.

"I think that given the kind of preparation that Ivor Kobina Greenstreet has done, concerning this particular Evenings Encounter I’m very hopeful that he is going to perform creditably well because he has not left any stone unturned”

He mentioned that Mr. Greenstreet will speak on unemployment at all levels as well as the power crisis Ghana has been battling for years.

“He will present a very comprehensive, realistic and practical solution to ending the energy crisis in the country. He will also present to Ghanaians realistic approaches to ending graduate unemployment and every kind of unemployment in the country. I’m very hopeful he will do more than is expected of him” he concluded.
