U.K. Branch of NPP angry

According to the Ghanaian Democrat, trouble is seriously brewing between the national headquarters of the NPP in Accra and the United Kingdom (UK) branch of the party in London.

As a result, the paper says, the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the NPP in Accra are running helter-skelter to find a solution to the problem and to appease the emotionally-charged executive members of the UK branch.

The Democrat says unless this is done quickly, there is the fear that a major source of funding for the NPP will be blocked. With disastrous consequences since the party is looking up to its members in the UK and elsewhere in Europe and America to fund the NPP for the year 2000 general elections.

Quoting what it says as a ?very reliable? London sources, the paper says the man at the centre of the storm is said to be Mr Dan Botwe, General Secretary of the party. According to the sources, if the NPP executive in the UK have their way they would sue Mr Botwe for deceit.
