The 2020 Amenfi West Parliamentary Candidate (PC) for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Abraham Kofi Asante has been tagged as "a political prostitute" after he defected to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) ahead of the crucial 2024 general elections.
Hon. Abraham Kofi Asante made the declaration of his defections during the funeral of the late Comfort Buah, the mother of Amenfi West MP Dr. Eric Afful, in Assankragua.

Mr. Abraham Lincoln, Wassa Amenfi West NPP Organizer, labeled their former PC as "a political prostitute" on the grounds that, Hon. Asante was once an NDC member who rosed to become DCE in the 90s and also served as MP from 1997 until he resigned from parliament citing personal reasons in 2003.
Hon. Asante was appointed the Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communication (GIFEC) CEO by H.E. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in his first term before he contested for the Parliamentary seat in Wassa Amenfi West on the ticket of NPP and lost to NDC's Hon. Eric Afful the incumbent.
His latest defection has left many in the constituency describing him as an "unfaithful politician" that one need not to pay more attention to his latest decision to rejoin NDC.
Some NDC members see Hon. Asante's decision to rejoin NDC as being smart on the ground that "NDC is winning the 2024 general election" and he (Kofi Asante) wants to grab a new position from John and Jane government in 2025, which the party faithfuls say they would resist such appointment in future.
