Obeng Inkoom unseats Richard Asiedu to become NDC Central Regional Chair with an 8-vote difference
Private legal practitioner Obeng Inkoom has been elected Central Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), ending Dr Richard Asiedu’s tenure after a closely contested regional executive election at Dunkwa-on-Offin.
Mr Inkoom secured 372 votes to defeat the incumbent, who polled 364. A third contender, Ibrahim Mohammed, obtained 16 votes.
The newly elected chairman has pledged to bring the party’s factions together and strengthen its structures, saying unity and adherence to the NDC’s founding values would guide his leadership.
He said his policy agenda was centred on building a united party grounded in honesty, integrity, probity and accountability.
“I issued a policy statement, and it is to the effect that I will build a united party and that united party will be based on the principles of the formation of the NDC, which we call the value proposition and that is honesty, integrity, probity and accountability,” he said.
Mr Inkoom added that he intended to train party members to improve their ability to communicate the NDC’s message effectively.
His victory follows a competitive race in which he edged Dr Asiedu by just eight votes, making the Central Regional chairmanship one of the closely fought contests in the party’s regional elections.
