"Now I am a two-day old member of the New Patriotic Party," he declared to loud cheers from the thousands of supporters gathered at the Accra International Trade Fair Centre.
His defection may not shock many political watchers following his affiliation with the NPP on various national campaigns waged by pro-NPP groups including the Let My Vote Count Alliance.
In the 2012 general elections, he mounted NPP platform to announce his support for Nana Akufo-Addo’s presidency against his party’s presidential candidate Hassan Ayariga.
