Alhaji Bolnaba wins another term as NDC Upper East Regional Chairman

Alhaji Abdulai Mumuni Bolnaba has won another term as Upper East Regional Chairman of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), beating challenger Duncan Nsoh Ghaneba by 220 votes.

Mr Bolnaba polled 371 votes to Mr Ghaneba’s 151 in the party’s regional executive elections, held on Saturday, November 14, at the GNAT Hall in Bolgatanga. A total of 570 delegates were eligible to vote. The poll was part of the NDC’s nationwide regional elections ahead of its national executive elections.

Mr Bolnaba first became chairman in December 2005, after defeating the then-incumbent, Alhaji Patience Abubakari, and has held the post in later regional elections. That makes him one of the party’s longest-serving regional chairmen.
