Hajia Hamdatu Ibrahim has been installed the acting Convention People’s Party (CPP) Chairperson after the resignation of Professor Edmund Delle, the former chairman.

The party, therefore, congratulated Prof.Delle on his enskinment as Naa Prof. Edmund N. Delle Chiir VIII and wished him the best in his new leadership role, adding that, he would excel as the leader of his people and impact positively on Ghana as a whole.
