W/R: Over 80 NDC supporters from Kwesimintsim Zongo defect to NPP

About 80 disgruntled supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Kwesimintsim Zongo  have defected to the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The defectors announced their move to the NPP at a press conference on September 5, 2020.

They said their decision was based on the potential they see in the NPP’s parliamentary candidate for the Kwesimintsim Constituency, Dr. Prince Hamid Armah, who was born in Kwesimintsim Zongo and grew up with some of them.

Theophilus Fiagbe, the convener for the defectors, said their defection was largely due to their disappointment in the NDC.

“In life, we believe that when you are on a path and you realise that there is a better way to do things, you must change course”.

The defectors, however, added that the emergence of Dr. Prince Hamid Armah as the New Patriotic Party’s Kwesimintsim candidate and also one of their own inspired them to seriously reconsider their membership with the NDC.

Dr. Prince Hamid Armah who is currently the Executive Director for NaCCA in a Citi Newsinterview welcomed the decision by the NDC defectors.

The Western Regional Deputy Secretary for the NPP, Rex Jonfiah who was there to welcome the defectors said it means more votes for the party.
