In a significant development ahead of the December elections, a group of National Democratic Congress (NDC) members from the Lanja community in the Bimbilla constituency have defected to the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
This occurred when the hardworking Defence Minister, Honourable Dominic Nitiwul, embarked on his community engagement in the constituency. The defectors have pledged their commitment to vote for Hon Dominic Nitiwul and Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the NPP’s presidential candidate.
This defection is seen as a major boost to the NPP’s chances in the upcoming elections. The Lanja community is a key constituency in the Bimbilla district, and the NPP will be hoping to capitalize on this momentum to win more votes in the region.
The NPP’s presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has been gaining traction in recent polls. The defection of NDC members to the NPP will likely give Dr Bawumia’s campaign an additional boost.
The December elections are expected to be highly contested, with both the NPP and NDC campaigning vigorously across the country.
