The Reformed Patriotic Democrats (RPD) says it will not go into alliance with the New Patriotic Party in the event of a second round during this year’s polls. Speaking to Joy News, the interim General Secretary of the party, Kwame Manu Sarpong said, the NPP had lost its focus on engaging the full potential of the youth towards national development. According to him, his party broke off from the NPP because of this lack of focus adding it was very unlikely that the party’s position will change before election. Mr Sarpong said the RPD will go into alliance with any other party which shared its vision of youth empowerment in the unlikely event it fell out of the first and second places in the elections. Meanwhile RPD has denied speculations linking it to Allan Kyeremateng, former Trade and Industry Minister who contested and lost the flag bearership of the NPP. The party said it was yet to fix a date for its maiden national delegate’s congress to elect a flag bearer and substantive national officers. It will however open nominations for parliamentary candidates who wish contest the Parliamentary elections on the party’s ticket in May. Responding to the RPD’s allegations that it broke away from the NPP, the General Secretary of the NPP, Nana Ohene Ntow said the NPP was daunted by the newcomer. According to him the NPP was firmly on the ground and had a record to show. He stressed the NPP had not lost any support to the RPD.
