The Office of former President John Kufuor has dismissed claims of the existence of two main factions in the New Patriotic Party (NPP); the Nana Akufo-Addo and Kufuor factions.<\/p>\n

Since the NPP delegates elected new executives last Saturday, there have been speculations in the media that the new crop of NPP national officers are from the camp of ex-President Kufuor.<\/p>\n

The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia earlier told Citi News<\/strong> \u201cwhen you look at the new crop of leaders, it is clear that it almost represents a coup d\u2019\u00e9tat from President Kufuor\u2019s faction. He has taken over the party again.\u201d<\/p>\n

An aide to the ex-President, Frank Agyekum in response said: \u201cI didn\u2019t expect Johnson Nketia to say anything conflicting about the NPP. There is nothing like a Kufuor coup or a Kufuor faction, coming into office. Everybody there is an NPP member, so it is unfortunate for anybody to say that there is a Kufuor faction or so. It is a pigment of their imagination.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Asiedu Nketia also stated that the old NPP executives have been punished by the delegates for contributing to the party\u2019s loss in the 2012 elections.<\/p>\n

In a rebuttal, Mr. Agyekum clarified that the delegates only elected the national executives based on their competence.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is important is that the delegates who met decided to choose who they think can lead the party at a certain point in time. The delegates who met in conference in Tamale, believe that these are the people, who can lead them into victory in 2016,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
