The Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mustapha Gbande, has alleged that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is behind the recent turmoil within the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP).
He claimed that the NPP is attempting to manipulate the party's position on the ballot to secure number 8 for themselves in the upcoming December elections.
He added that since the NDC had the number 8, "they had never relented on that effort to ensure that we go to the election with the NDC carrying number 8."

So it is the NPP behind this kind of gimmick," he claimed.
