A total of 54 aspirants are racing for 14 Regional Executive positions
in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Volta Region.
Mr Pascal Agbagba, the Party's Regional Director of Elections told the
Ghana News Agency (GNA) on the sidelines of the Vetting Committee
sitting in Ho that the number of aspirants reflected growing awareness
within the Party.
Madam Dzifa Ativor, a former Minister for Transport is seeking to
unseat incumbent Chairman Mr John Gyapong, and is among 12 women in the
race.
She told the GNA she has the clout to unite the region, and would work
with the constituencies to drive membership and secure victory in 2020.
She added that the region required a Chairperson who could inject fresh
ideas, rally the grassroots, and mobilise funds to advance it’s
campaign.
Mr Gyapong said under his Chairmanship, the Region retained 25 seats in
Parliament for the Region in the last elections, and promised to
encourage, motivate and organise the youth wing of the Party when
granted another chance.
Mr James Gunu, a former District Chief Executive who is eying the
Regional Secretary position also told GNA of plans to reorganise the
secretariat, decentralise research, and develop "sophisticated" election
monitoring teams.
