THE DESIRE of the ruling National Democratic Congress(NDC) to win one million votes in the Ashanti Region during the upcoming polls to help the party to hang onto political power, is in great danger as mass defection had hit the party.
More than one thousand NDC supporters, mainly women, in the AtwimaNwabiagya North Constituency in the Ashanti Region, have defected to join the New Patriotic Party (NPP), with just 60 days to the December 7 elections.
Section of the defectors, marched through the township of AsuofiaAsaaman on Saturday morning holding placards with inscriptions that President Mahama and the NDC had failed so they must be voted out of political office.
Doris Amoah, leader of the defectors, who was NDC executive member in the constituency, said they had left the NDC party because the government was incompetent so its policies and programmes had impoverished them.
She pointed out that President Mahama, who will be leaving office in 60 days’ time, was yet to fulfill just one of his numerous juicy campaign promises during the 2012 polls, saying that the financial burden of the masses had been compounded.
Doris Amoah, who is considered as the mother of NDC at Asuofia and the nearby towns, bemoaned that all the social intervention policies introduced by the NPP administration to help the poor, like school feeding programme, NHIS, among others, had been collapsed by the NDC.
She said their children were roaming about in the house without going to school due to exorbitant school fees, stating that she and her group had realized that another political term for the NDC would see the country being totally destroyed.
Doris Amoah, who was addressing the media, noted that they had realized that Nana AddoDankwaAkufo-Addo and the NPP has the vision to transform the country so that the lives of the people would be significantly improved.
MrBenito Owusu-Bio, the NPP MP for the constituency, who officially welcomed the defectors to the NPP, commended the former NDC supporters for having strong faith in Nana Akufo-Addo and the NPP.
He urged them to feel at home and work together with other NPP members in the area, so that the NPP’s votes would see significant improvement, stressing that the NPP would introduce several social intervention programs to better their lives, if it wins the polls.
