The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Keta in the Volta Region has elected new executives to occupy some vacant positions in the party.
The exercise was done in accordance with Article 7(26) of the NPP’s Constitution.
At the end of the elections, Priscilla Adedzeashie, a former constituency deputy organiser, was elected as the second vice-chairperson, and Prince Nyonator, a former finance secretary, was elected as the new organiser.
Elikem Sewordor, a former constituency organiser, is now the constituency secretary.
Elikem Dawu, a former party IT officer, and Prosper Agbagli, a communication team member, have been elected as financial secretary and deputy youth organiser, respectively.
The exercise was necessary following the death of the party’s constituency first deputy chairman, Anthony Gidiglo.
Also, Courage Hope Goldberg-Grimm Lekettey, the former Constituency Secretary and now the Parliamentary candidate’s portfolio, must be filled
The new secretary, Sewordor, explained to the media that the exercise was necessary since there was a provision for it in their Constitution.
“Under the directive of the general secretary, 1 March 2024, that vacancies created for whatever reason, be filled as provided for in Article 7(26) of the NPP constitution,” he stated.
Sewordor said an executive committee meeting was held earlier this year, on 15 June, for the fulfilment of the requirement.
“Nominations were received and the election was supervised by Pope Yao Yevoo, the Volta regional secretary, and Makafui Kofi Woanya, the regional chairman.”
The new executives pledged to work hard to garner more votes to unseat the incumbent NDC parliamentary candidate in Keta.
