A senior political science lecturer at the University of Ghana Dr. Kwame Ansah Asante says the incumbent General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu will have difficulties retaining his seat.
“It’s a difficult battle for him, I can say without fear of contradiction because the party’s scribe is a big office and what we saw in the last election did not speak well of the organization of the party on the ground.
“He is a function of that; that is not to say that he is not somebody who cannot perform. They have done their bit but the performance as a team in the last election did not appease anybody. So he has a daunting task,” he told Starr News.
Meanwhile, an influential member of the party and nephew of President Akufo-Addo, Gabby Otchere-Darko has projected victory for the incumbent General Secretary John Boadu and Stephen Ntim for Chairman.
“Listening to the delegates, those I tip to win the NPP national officers’ race Saturday, are: Ntim for Chair; JB for GS; Nana B for Organiser; Kate for Women; Dr China for Treasurer; Rita and Kissi for Vice Chairs; Salam for Youth. May the best out of all 45 candidates win”.
About 6,146 delegates are voting in today’s polls. The Ashanti region has 816 delegates, Greater Accra is 2nd with 595 delegates, the Eastern region 3rd with 578 delegates, and the Central region 4th with 408 delegates.
