Some supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Amansie Central Constituency in the Ashanti Region have defected to the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
At a rally organised by the Odotobri NPP Secretariat, 30 members have rejected the opposition NDC party.
The rally, led by the constituency chairman at Mile 14, which was to canvass for votes for President Akufo-Addo and the Member of Parliament for the area Hon Emmanuel Akwasi Gyamfi brought together over thousand members from various communities at Mile 14.
The leader of the defected members said they have served and voted for the NDC for some years but have observed the performance of the NPP Government within this short period, they needed not to waste any more time with the NDC and therefore decided to join the NPP.
He said within the three years in office, the government had built several classroom blocks, has ensured stable power supply, provided free water, increased the cocoa price and free education something he said, the NDC could not do during its eight years in power.
The constituency Chairman, Dominic Bosompem speaking at the meeting commended the defectors for their truthfulness and welcomed them into the fold, saying President Akufo-Addo has performed better and therefore must be supported by all Ghanaians in his transformational agenda.
Chairman Bosompem urged supporters of the party to desist from voting “skirt and blouse” in the upcoming December polls.
Adding that the idea of casting a vote for Nana Akuffo Addo and against the Parliamentary candidates would not be a good decision.
