The Ashanti Regional Cadres Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Alhaji Muntari Alhassan, together with his entire executives, have defected to the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).

They have also, as a matter of principle, severed all ties with their former party, urging their teeming supporters also to do same in the interest of their children’s future.

Not only has Alhaji Muntari and his executives turned their back on the NDC, their entire family members have also deserted the party.

The announcement by the NDC strong pillar and his executives have not only sent shivers down the spine of supporters of the NDC, it has also shaken the core foundation of the party in the Ashanti Region.

According to the former NDC crowd puller, their decision to join the ruling party started in 2017 when the government, true to its campaign promise, introduced the Free Senior High School policy and other pro-poor policies.

He said despite his children and family members enjoying the policy, they were not convinced until recently when it became obvious that, indeed, the NPP government is for the poor.

And, to show their total commitment to their newly found party, they indicated their readiness to vigorously campaign to elect Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to progress the good policies of the NPP government.

The unveiling of Alhaji Muntari Alhassan and the other executives took place at the Ntonso Zongo when the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, Chairman Wontumi, took his grassroot campaign to the Kwabre East Constituency on Friday.

Not only is the defection wreaking havoc on the camp of the NDC in the region, the action by the former NDC stalwarts is also creating division among the rank and file of the party.
