Over 1,000 Wassa East NDC Members Defect To NPP Over poor Performance Of Their Current MP


Over 1,000 Wassa East NDC Members Defect To NPP Over poor Performance Of Their Current MP


About one thousand (1,000) members of the National Democratic Congress in the Wassa East constituency of western region have overwhelmingly crossed carpet to join the New Patriotic Party.

The defectors joyously made their intentions known when the deputy CEO of Coastal Development Authority in charge of western and western north region lawyer Gertrude Mona Effah *(Obaa Noaa)* picked her forms at the NPP office in Daboase to contest in the NPP's upcoming Parliamentary primaries.

According to the members, the reasons that necessitated for their decision to join NPP are; the current NDC MP for Wassa East constituency Hon. Isaac Adjei Mensah has been in Parliament for twelve good years but has not lobbied for any development to the constituency. Again, he has also not fulfilled any of the juicy campaign promises he made to the people since 2012 he assumed power as MP.

They lamented that, it will be extremely uneasy for them to even get a campaign message to the electorates if they should continue support the current MP.

The group added that it is about time the Wassa East constituency takes a new leaf and new direction and the only person whom they believe and trust with the genuine qualities to lead the constituency in this new paradigm shift is lawyer Gertrude Mona Effa.

Mr. Majesty Ayerebi who is the special aide to lawyer Gertrude Mona Effah welcomed the new members into the NPP party and urged them to join the breaking the 8 campaign in order to unseat the current MP in 2024 whose underperformance has brought all of them to the NPP.

Finally, lawyer Gertrude Mona Effa (Obaa Noaa) the Parliamentary Candidate aspirant for NPP in the Wassa East constituency also expressed joy and unflinching gratitude to the party members and the new NDC members for their support when she was picking her forms. She however, implored the members to keep supporting her through to the 2024 general elections which is their ultimate goal to achieve.

NPP And NDC Playing "Chaskele" With EC... Rev Dr Worlanyo Mensah

  NPP And NDC Playing "Chaskele"  With EC... Rev Dr Worlanyo Mensah Tensions between Ghana's Electoral Commission (EC), National Democratic Congress (NDC), and New Patriotic Party (NPP) have escalated over alleged discrepancies in the 2024 voter register. Rev Dr Samuel Worlanyo Mensah, vice presidential candidate for the All People's Congress (APC), economist and a lecture at Wisconsin university Accra, has warned that the NDC and NPP's actions during the limited voter registration and special transfer of vote exercise have compromised the register's integrity. "The two major parties were bussing people from their homes to registration centers, encouraging minors and foreigners to register," Dr. Worlanyo alleged. The NDC recently raised concerns upon receiving the provisional voters register, citing bloated electoral rolls in certain polling stations and alleged attempts by the EC to rig the December 7 polls in favor of the governing NPP. In res...

NPP Government Shortchanges Cocoa Farmers: A Closer Look at the Discrepancies....Twifo Atti-Morkwa NDC Communication Officer.

NPP Government Shortchanges Cocoa Farmers: A Closer Look at the Discrepancies.... Twifo Atti-Morkwa NDC Communication Officer. In recent years, Ghana's cocoa farmers have faced significant disparities in the payments they receive for their hard work. A comparison of current cocoa pricing practices under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government with those from the era of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) highlights a troubling trend: farmers are being shortchanged, while the government profits disproportionately. As of today, the global market price for cocoa stands at $6,470 per ton. With an exchange rate of Ghc 16.35 to $1, this translates to Ghc 105,784.50 per ton in Ghanaian cedis. Given that one ton comprises 16 bags, this sets the price per bag at Ghc 6,611.00. However, the current government pays cocoa farmers only Ghc 3,000 per ton—just 45.39% of the total price—retaining the remaining 54.61%, or Ghc 3,609.52 per ton. In stark contrast, under the NDC government led by J...

Galamsey Fight: Government Must Tread Carefully to Avoid Judgement Debt -- Rev Dr. Worlanyo Mensah

  Galamsey Fight: Government Must Tread Carefully to Avoid Judgement Debt -- Rev Dr. Worlanyo Mensah The Vice Presidential Candidate of the All Peoples Congress (APC) and renowned economist, Rev Dr. Worlanyo Mensah, has cautioned the government to exercise restraint in addressing illegal mining activities, popularly known as "galamsey." Dr. Mensah warned that hasty actions, driven by calls from Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), could lead to substantial judgement debts. "Many Ghanaians are advocating for drastic measures, including 'shoot and kill' operations and burning excavators at galamsey sites, under the guise of executive directives, which lack legal backing," Dr. Mensah said. While acknowledging the need to stop illegal mining, Dr. Mensah emphasized that such actions must be grounded in law to achieve their intended purpose. "The government must not forget that foreign and local mining firms with prospective mining licenses from the Ministry o...
