The group, mainly foot soldiers of the NDC said they decided to join forces with the ruling NPP because of its performance since assumption of power over the past two years.

At a press briefing at Madina in Accra, the organizer of the group, Yusif Alhassan Quedrado said they did a lot of dirty work for the NDC over the years without any reward but had now realized that they were doing harm to their nation than good, hence their decision to quit the NDC.

The PRO of the defectors, Archimedes Kankam Boadu on his part said one of main reasons of their defection is the startling revelation at the National Reconciliation Commission. He disclosed that they never knew that the people they held in high esteem had allegedly committed unpardonable crimes against humanity.
