A Former District Secretary for Afigya Sekyere, Yaw Oppong Kyekyeku has resigned from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to join the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
In a statement in Kumasi on Friday Mr Oppong Kyekyeku, who was the District Secretary from 1986 to 1993, said his decision to join the NPP was to ensure the "survival of the new political dispensation by carrying out my capacity building exercise for metropolitan, municipal and district assemblies".
The former District Secretary, who describes himself as an educationist, poet, playwright and research writer, was dismissed by the PNDC government in April 1991, on the grounds of "Mental Exhaustion" but made a dramatic comeback in July the same year until his final removal in 1993.
