NPP collapsing in Volta Region

The Ghana Palaver reports that the Volta Region NPP is locked up in petty squabbles with the regional executives and some of their parliamentary candidates not on talking terms.

A leading member of the party in the region, Mr Tommy Amematekpor, has been accused by his executive of feeding the party with false information on the party's chances in the region.

The paper says its sources indicates that while Tommy has assured the national leadership that they are set to wrest Ho Central Constituency and that of North and South Tongu from the NDC, his colleagues disputed his claim.

NPP's Lawyer Ohene, visiting the region on November 18, is said to have identified the conflicting report. He reportedly rushed public address systems, posters and T-shirts of Von Barkustein, the parliamentary candidate for Ho West, to Ho for immediate use and realised to his utter amazement that the executives are not on the ground but rather relate their imaginary state of affairs to the national leadership in the comfort of their homes.
