The much-anticipated New Patriotic Party (NPP) delegates conference for the election of regional executives has been held.
The polls were organised within three days. So far, 14 regions have held their respective elections.
On Friday, May 27, 2022, elections took place in seven regions namely; Ahafo, Bono-East, Northern, North East, Savannah, Upper East and Western North.
That of Ashanti, Eastern, Greater Accra, Oti, Volta, Upper West and Western have also taken place.
Elections in the Bono Region are expected to be held come Sunday, May 29, 2022.
The only outstanding election is that of the Central Region where polls have been suspended until further notice due to a court action.
While some incumbents retained their positions, others failed in their re-election bids, paving the way for fresh entrants to take over the job at the regional level.
Following the declaration of results across the regions, here are how results went down on a region by region basis:
AHAFO
Four incumbent executives retained their positions, with one incumbent losing in the Region.
Kwabena Owusu Sekyere retained his position as the Chairman.
Amadu Mohammed also retained his position as the Nasara Coordinator, and Ruth Fosua also maintained her position as the Women’s Organizer.
Eugene Kusi Boakye also retained his position as Treasurer.
However, Gausu Mohammed Baba, lost his position as the Secretary to Eric Nana Antwi.
ASHANTI
Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, sailed through his re-election bid as Regional Chairman for the party.
The vociferous Ashanti Regional Chair went past Odeneho Kwaku Appiah (COKA), his closest contender, and three others to retain his position.
This is the third time he is securing the seat.
