NPP: Beware of defection propaganda from our opponents
 The leadership of the New Patriotic Party has noted the unsuccessful attempt by our political opponents and their partners in the media to create some impression that the followers of Mr Alan Kyerematen have defected from the Party to form a new party. We wish to state that this is completely untrue.
In particular, we condemn the call by Mr Ben Ephson and the Daily Dispatch that Mr Allan Kyerematen ought to dissociate himself from the new party. All the unsuccessful aspirants in the August 7 Congress (including Mr Kyerematen) have committed themselves by word and by their actions to the success of Nana Akufo-Addo and the NPP in the 2012 general elections. We go into the next elections more united than ever.
