A former constituency executive member of the New Patriotic Party, who went independent to contest the Atwima Mponua constituency parliamentary seat in the 2008 general elections, says he is formerly severing all ties with the party.
Forty-eight-year-old Raphael Baffour Awuah says he is now a registered member of the ruling National Democratic Congress, and wants to be recognized as such.
He has consequently set himself the task of “overthrowing” Atwima Mponua MP Isaac Kwame Asiamah and deliver the seat to his new party, the NDC.
Awuah who said he resigned from the NPP as a result of his disagreements with the party, told Myjoyonline.com that the disagreements which saw him quit the party, bordered on vile propaganda within the NPP but which members hypocritically turn round to accuse the NDC of.
In a declaration he signed to affirm his resolve and which he has caused to be distributed to the media, Raphael Awuah who says he was the first constituency organizer of the NPP in the Atwima Mponua constituency from 1992 to 1996, claimed that despite his works for the NPP, “it is the New Patriotic Party that has frustrated” his “life more than any other individual or group of individuals,” and that he considers “the New Patriotic Party as a party not worth dying for.”
