A group of New Patriotic Party (NPP ) supporters in the Ketu North Constituency of the Volta Region, have, in a surprising twist of events, defected to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The group, largely comprised of the youth, announced their decision on January 11, 2024, attributing it to dissatisfaction with what they regard as incompetence of the leadership of the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia-led administration.

Several of the youth, some of whom held executive positions within the NPP in the region, expressed their inability to continue supporting a government they view as failing.
In an interview with Citi News, Bernard Akpabli Agbeli, a former youth organizer of the NPP in the area, explained their stance, further sating the readiness of the group to throw its support for H.E John Mahama and the NDC.
“Already, I have declared my total support for John Mahama and the NDC. We will campaign for them, and we will make sure that we win the presidential and will form the majority in the parliamentary election. I was the polling station youth organiser, formerly polling station organiser; I was constituency youth organiser as well.”

He further elaborated, “So I’ve served this party [NPP] for about 27 years now. Everybody knows me very well in the Volta Region here, and the leadership of the party in the region also knows me; they know how hard-working I am. This government is not ruling us well. So it is because of that I took this decision.”
The NDC is strategically positioned in the district, with Edem Agbana as the parliamentary candidate.
