About 120 members of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Bugya Pala community in the Walewale Constituency in the North East Region have defected to the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).

In a statement, the Deputy Regional Secretary of the NPP in the North East Region, Ibrahim Yamusah said the move was as a result of the good developmental projects that the New Patriotic Party was executing in the constituency.
