Stephen Ntim finally elected NPP chairman after 5th try

A former First Vice-Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr Stephen Ntim, has been elected as the new national chairman of the governing party.

The relentless Stephen Ntim beat six others to emerge the winner.

His closest contender, Stephen Asamoah Boateng, polled 1,110 votes.

The other contenders had the following:

George Kwabena Abankwah-Yeboah – 294

Prof. Christopher Ameyaw-Akumfi – 101

Akwasi Osei-Adjei

Sammy Crabbe – 32

Gifty Asantewa Ayeh (Daavi Ama) – 44
