Richard Kofi Aseidu has won the chairmanship race in the National Democratic Congress’ regional elections in the Central Region.
Gabrielle Tetteh, the sister of NDC MP for Awutu Senya West, Gizella Tetteh won the Communication Director position in the region.
Mr Aseidu addressing the press said despite winning the elections to lead the party to victory in 2024 he faced some obstacles.
According to him, some persons petitioned the National leadership of the party to disqualify and prevent him from contesting the elections two days to the day of the elections.
He explained that the move instead pushed delegates to vote massively for him to lead the party.
Mr Aseidu garnered 255 votes to beat his closest rival Theophilus Aidoo Mensah who polled 245.
Sebastian Kakra Yalley got 114 while Kojo Quansah got 15 votes.
