The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has held its much-anticipated delegates conference for the election of regional leaders.
Within three days, the polls were set up. So far, elections have been held in 14 different regions.
Elections were held in seven zones on May 27, 2022: Ahafo, Bono-East, Northern, North East, Savannah, Upper East, and Western North.
There have also been elections in Ashanti, Eastern, Greater Accra, Oti, Volta, Upper West, and Western Ghana.
The Bono Region is slated to hold elections on Sunday, May 29, 2022.
The only election still to be held is in the Central Region, where voting has been halted until further notice owing to a court order.
While some incumbents were re-elected, others were defeated in their re-election efforts, allowing newcomers to take up the role at the regional level.
Following the announcement of results across the regions, here’s how the results broke down per region:
AHAFO
In the Region, four incumbent CEOs kept their jobs, while one incumbent lost his.
The Chairman, Kwabena Owusu Sekyere, was re-elected.
Amadu Mohammed kept his job as Nasara Coordinator, and Ruth Fosua kept her job as Women’s Organizer.
Eugene Kusi Boakye was also re-elected as Treasurer.
Gausu Mohammed Baba, on the other hand, lost his job as Eric Nana Antwi’s secretary.
ASHANTI
Chairman Wontumi, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, swept through his re-election campaign as the party’s Regional Chairman.
The outspoken Ashanti Regional Chair beat out his closest rival, Odeneho Kwaku Appiah (COKA), to keep his job.
He’s securing the seat for the third time.
EASTERN
In the Eastern Region, incumbent executives won by generally large percentages, with the exception of the youth organiser position, where Adamu Musah defeated his closest competitor by a mere 21 votes.

The incumbent first vice chairman, Abdul-Rahaman Abdul-Aziz also retained his seat with 157 votes while his closest contender managed to poll 85.
A former Municipal Chief Executive for Wa Central, Alhaji Aziz Gado, won the second vice chairmanship slot, while Tanko Daniel Dauda got the nod to become the secretary.
The party however could not elect a women’s organizer after two contestants, Mumuni Minata and Nancy Dery polled a tie of 76, booting the incumbent, Diana Puopele off her seat.
The rest of the winners include Alhassan Suleman, Treasurer, Alaska B. Kantong, Organizer, Hamid Mohammed Saana, Youth Organiser. Ali Mohammed Nuri, Nasara coordinator and Alhassan Yussif, Assistant Secretary.
