Newly elected National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu, has pledged to lead efforts to build a renewed party ahead of the next general elections.
Speaking on behalf of the newly elected national executives at the party’s delegate conference in Kumasi on Saturday, October 3, Mr Boadu said the new leadership would serve with humility and work closely with all levels of the party.
“Our task is to build a renewed NPP, one that listens and consults more. We are going to work closely with regional executives, constituents, external branches, and our MPs led by Afenyo-Markin,” he said.
The election saw several new executives chosen to oversee the affairs of the party as it prepares for the next electoral cycle.
Daniel Titus Glover was elected National Organiser, while former Minister for Fisheries and Aquaculture Development, Mavis Hawa Koomson, emerged as the National Women’s Organiser.
Abanga Fuseini Yakubu was elected National Youth Organiser after securing 1,550 votes in a contest involving six candidates.
He defeated Clement Opoku Gyamfi, who polled 631 votes, while Michael Osei Boateng obtained 78, Vera Oye Bram-Larbi 44, Chris Lloyd Nii Kwei Asamoah 46, and Alfred Kumi Ababio 25 votes.
Justin Kodua Frimpong retained his position as General Secretary after winning a strongly contested election with 4,486 votes.
Former Member of Parliament for Ngleshie Amanfro, Sylvester Tetteh, placed second with 1,340 votes, while Eugene Boakye Antwi and Dr Charles Dwamena polled 162 and 126 votes respectively.
The new leadership is expected to steer the NPP through its internal reorganisation and preparations for the next general elections.
