Mr Kwasi Amakye Boateng, National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Effiduase-Asokore constituency in last year's elections, has defected to the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Addressing a news conference at Asokore on Wednesday at which he announced his defection, Mr Amakye Boateng said he had realised that the NPP government has something good to offer the nation.
He described the NDC as a party without vision and its personalities as untouchables and people without commitment.
Mr Charles Agyekum, NDC campaign manager for the constituency, who also defected to the NPP, said he did so because the NDC has not been well organised after its defeat in the last general elections and therefore has no future.
Mr George Kwasi Marfo, branch chairman of the NPP, advised the defectors to be loyal and honest to the NPP.
Mr Prince Frimpong-Ampomah, vice-chairman of the NPP, said the party has put behind it problems that cropped up as a result of the electioneering campaign towards the last general elections.
