The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has been dealt a bruising blow as former Lower West Akyem MP Gifty Klenam, ditches the occasion for the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC)—leaving her former comrades reeling!
At a no-nonsense press briefing, Klenam made it clear: she’s discovered a brand new dwelling within the NDC and is absolutely offered on John Dramani Mahama’s imaginative and prescient for Ghana’s export sector. And in a transfer that’s sure to sting her former occasion, she declared her late father could be grinning in his grave at her resolution to modify sides.
“I appreciate the NPP for the opportunity to serve, but Ghana needs real leadership. Mahama’s plan to accelerate the export sector is the way forward,” she mentioned, dropping the bombshell that’s bought NPP loyalists fuming.
But as if that wasn’t sufficient, Klenam needed to swat off hypothesis that she’s been planted by the NPP as a mole contained in the NDC. When Akora Kofi Darko of XYZ Broadcasting grilled her on whether or not she was a double agent, she laughed it off, insisting she was absolutely dedicated to her new household.
The defection is a serious embarrassment for the NPP, which is now left nursing its wounds. With Klenam leaping ship, it raises critical questions on simply how a lot confidence even former loyalists have within the occasion’s path.
One factor’s for certain—NPP bigwigs gained’t be sleeping straightforward tonight!
