NDC angered by defection story
Agona Swedru, July 18, Ghanadot/GNA- The Agona West
Constituency branch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC)
on Wednesday said that no member of the party had defected
to any other political party.
Mr. Musah Kwame Donkoh, Constituency Chairman and Mr Alfred
Amponsah, Constituency Coordinator, speaking to the Ghana
News Agency after they visited Agona Nkum to ascertain a
defection story in the media said it was not true that 40
members of the party had defected to the NPP.
Mr. Donkor described the defection story as falsehood and
lies and propaganda made by the New Patriotic Party to score
cheap political points and confuse the people.
The Chairman said the so-called defectors were not known in
the Area.
He said it was only the Ward Vice-Chairman, Mr. Thomas
Otsiwah who had decided about two months ago to leave the
party but he has not officially written to inform the NDC to
that effect.
The chairman said the NDC would not be surprised to learn
that Mr. Otsiwah had joined the NPP because his wife is a
strong NPP supporter.
He stressed that the defection story was part of NPP
calculated attempt to throw dust into the eyes of Ghanaians
who are eager to vote massively against NPP in the 2008
elections.
The Chairman said the constituency branch has just ended the
election of ward executives to prepare grounds for the
election of Parliamentary candidate for 2008 election.
Mr Donkoh said recently some 200 supporters from other
political parties defected to NDC, but the party kept quiet
over that because "what is necessary is to win more
supporters for the party".
He therefore assured the NDC hierarchy to remain formidable
and continue to work hard now that other political parties
has started to entertain fears that the party is coming back
to power, “hence all these propaganda to create confusion
among the people.”
