He, however, surprisingly said he was<br \/>\nyet to tender in his resignation letter from the NPP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have not resigned officially<br \/>\nfrom the NPP but I ceased to be a member of the NPP and joined the NDC in 2017,\u201d<br \/>\nhe said, alleging that some NPP members in the party in the Atwima Nwabiagya<br \/>\nNorth Constituency approached him to contest positions in the NPP in 2016 \u201cand<br \/>\nI said no to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Afreh said he was not yet a<br \/>\ncard-bearing member of the opposition NDC and added that the party leadership<br \/>\nsaw nothing wrong with it when they appointed him to the Ashanti Regional<br \/>\nManifesto Committee of the party. He said \u201cthey are still working on my NDC<br \/>\ncard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to him, he became a<br \/>\nmember of the NPP in 1996 and served the party at TESCON and other levels but<br \/>\nhe finally decided to leave the NPP to pitch camp with the NDC in 2017 because<br \/>\nhe realised that the NDC, unlike the NPP, accepts and respects the views of its<br \/>\nmembers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NDC Exposes Isaac Afreh<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The NDC Atwima Nwabiagya North<br \/>\nConstituency Youth Organizer, Charles Asaasin, said on the same network that<br \/>\n\u201cIsaac Afreh is a staunch NPP member in this constituency and two weeks ago he<br \/>\nattended our meeting and said is joining the NDC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said the NDC executives in the<br \/>\nAtwima Nwabiagya North Constituency were planning to organise a press<br \/>\nconference for Isaac Afreh to officially announce that he was quitting the NPP<br \/>\nto join the NDC, only to hear that Isaac Afreh is already a member of the NDC<br \/>\nManifesto Committee.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NPP Chairman On Afreh<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Atwima Nwabiagya North<br \/>\nConstituency Chairman of the NPP, Nana Dwomoh, also said on <em>Fox FM<\/em> that so far as he was concerned,<br \/>\nIsaac Afreh, a native of Barekese, was still member of the NPP, who once<br \/>\ncontested the NPP secretary position in the constituency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is a banker and he has been an<br \/>\nactive member of our party for so many years.
