It would be recalled that Wa Central constituency NDC had indicated that over 100 disgruntled members of the NPP at Busah had switched camp to the NDC and were waiting to be officially sworn in as members of the party.
This was after things did not go as expected as the NDC leadership waited for hours at the main venue without the defectors turning up to be initiated.
The chairman and his team then went to the Busah daily market where the rally was rescheduled.
After more than an hour, a group of minors showed up for the swearing in.
Some were as young as eleven years while the oldest was about seventeen and none of the minors had NPP membership card or any proof of membership.
