The Western regional chairman of the ruling NDC has confirmed to Citi News that one of its executives in the region has defected to the main opposition NPP over some internal wrangling in the party.
The chairman Nana Toku however discounted claims that some 300 members of the party in the Sekondi constituency have also defected to the NPP.
There were earlier reports that some 300 members of the NDC in the Zongo communities as well as the Constituency Vice Chairman of the party have defected to the NPP.
Nana Toku told Citi News that only the Vice Chairman, Alhaji Osmanu defected. Nana Toku added that the party is meanwhile planning to meet with him in an attempt to convince him to rescind his decision.
He said �the Zongo people who they say have defected are ready to come out with a statement on how they are unhappy about what he is doing.
"His problem now is that there is a LESDEP vehicle which was given to one branch chairman and he thinks that he also deserves that vehicle and so if the vehicle is not given to him he would quit the party and make sure he damages the image of the party.
�I told them that whatever it is they should allow us to meet him but when we sent for him, he�s had NPP paraphernalia all over him from hair to toe. So we decided that we should give him about three or four days for him to settle down then we call him back.�
