It explained that the purported defection is about the Wa Central Constituency Chairman, whose position was revoked for incompetence and poor performance in 2021.
“The PPP wants to inform all its members and the entire nation to remain resolute in supporting the party as some of these incidence are distractions aimed at swaying us from reaching our goal.”
The opposition party expressed resolve to remain focused “to wrestling power in 2024 and will not be moved by any desperate political party who want to find credibility among Ghanaians by using the PPP for such objectives”.
