With less than two weeks to the December 2024 general elections, a significant political shift has occurred in the Wa West constituency of the Upper West Region, as 29 pro-NPP members have defected to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

The defectors, who hail from the communities of Maasi, Nyose, Boro, and Dontanga, made their announcement at a mini-rally at Dorimon on Sunday, November 24, 2024.

The rally was attended by the National Chairman of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, who welcomed the defectors into the party.

This development is seen as a major boost to the NDC's chances in the Wa West constituency, ahead of the upcoming elections.
