Following news of the NPP suffering from mass defections in the Ketu North constituency, the Parliamentary Candidate of the opposition NDC in the constituency, Edem Agbana has said the NDC will not be complacent ahead of the December 7 general elections.
The former deputy national youth organiser of the NDC, Mr Agbana reiterated their resolve to fight for every single vote in the constituency, stating “President Mahama’s victory is the ultimate, and I will never be happy as an MP in opposition, so whatever it will take, we must work hard for JM to be president in 2025. The defections are good, it motivates us to work harder to attract more, but we cannot and will never be complacent”.
He said these in a Power FM interview.
On Thursday January 11th, at a rally held in Dzodze in the Ketu North constituency, the immediate past NPP constituency organiser, Mr Bernard Akpabli popularly known as Agbeli, and 200 others defected from the NPP to join the NDC. This follows reports of other defections that have hit the Ketu North NPP since May 2023.
According to reports, at community engagements held in Tsiaveme, Akpatoeme, Huive, Ablorme, Kpordoave and other places in the constituency, some known NPP members publicly denounced their membership of the NPP, and joined the NDC promising to work hard for the victory of Edem Agbana and President Mahama.
Agbeli’s defection broke the camel’s back as he is deemed as one of the most dedicated members of the NPP in the constituency.
However, Edem Agbana said, he and his team will never rest their backs because of the defections but rather, they will be motivated to work harder to give President Mahama over 90% of valid votes.
