Stephen Ntim finally elected as party chairman after 5 attempts
After eyeing the NPP chairmanship position five times, Stephen Ayesu Ntim has finally been elected the chairman of the governing party.
He polled 4,014 votes to beat his contenders.
Ntim served as the party’s first Vice Chairman between 2001 and 2005.
Stephen Ntim’s first attempt to be chairman of the party was in December 2005. His second attempt was in 2010 while his third attempt was in 2014. He again lost on the fourth attempt to Freddie Blay in 2018.
In 2005, Mr. Ntim lost to Peter Mac Manu, who was President Akufo-Addo’s campaign manager in the 2016 polls.
His second contest in 2010 ended in a loss to the late Jake Okanta Obetsebi-Lamptey and another loss to Paul Afoko in 2014.
Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah, the Information Minister on his verified Twitter timeline wrote:
“Congratulations to chairman Ntim, GS JFK and all our executives. The elephant is our winning symbol. Time to work together to get Ghana out of the woods and do the unprecedented.”
Over 6,000 delegates voted in the election. They included selected party members from all the 16 regions in Ghana plus some members from the diaspora branches of the NPP.
In all, 46 candidates are contesting for ten national executive positions of the NPP.
