Stephen Ntim, John Boadu, Nana B And Dr. China Lead NPP Race

AS the date for the upcoming ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) national executives’ elections gradually draws closer, some key party contestants have emerged as hot favourites.

They include Stephen Ayesu Ntim, John Boadu and Lawyer Henry Nana Boakye aka ‘Nana B’, who are gunning for the National Chairman, General Secretary and National Organiser, respectively.

According to a survey purportedly conducted by the Research Bureau at the Office of the Presidency, the trio are expected to win in their various positions if the elections were held today.

 

 

 

 

Time of Research

The research was reportedly conducted during the NPP National Delegates Conference, held in Kumasi from December 18 to 20, 2021, which was graced by NPP members from the 275 constituencies in the country.

The researchers were said to have released 4,000 questionnaires and attracted 3,920 responses, representing 98 per cent success rate.

The researchers mainly asked about which of the contestants were popular in the party and could therefore lead the NPP to make history in 2024 by winning a third consecutive national elections.

It said generally, most of the party’s delegates had made up their minds already, with regards to who they would cast their ballot for during the polls and just three to five per cent of the respondents were undecided.
