Managing Editor of the New Crusading guide nwspaper, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako Jr has tipped Kofi Portuphy, National Coordinator of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) to win the chairmanship position of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The NDC will on Saturday, 20th December, 2014 elect new executives at their upcoming National Delegates Congress.
For the Chairmanship position, Kofi Portuphy, Mr Dan Abodakpi, a former minister of state and diplomat, and Alhaji Huudu Yahaya, a former secretary, former General Secretary of the party and incumbent Vice-Chairman of the party, will be attempting to snatch the position from the incumbent, Kwabena Adjei.
Abdullah Ishaq Farrakhan of the Obuasi Constituency office of the NDC will be contesting the incumbent Johnson Asiedu Nketia for the General Secretary position while the position of Deputy General Secretary will be keenly contested by the incumbent, Mr George Lawson; Mr Kwadjo Adu Asare, the immediate past MP for Adenta and presidential staffer, Mr Koku Anyidoho, the Communications Director at the Presidency in the era of President J.E.A. Mills, Wisdom Kwame Amaglo, J.R.D. Cobbina and Evans Armoo.
Another position that will attract the attention of political observers is that of the National Organiser, which is fiercely being contested by the incumbent, Mr Boateng-Gyan; Mr Kofi Adams, an incumbent Deputy General Secretary and Spokesman for former President Rawlings, and Mr Emmanuel Aboagye Didieye, the MP for Afram Plains North.
Contributing to a panel discussion and speaking to the issue on PEACE FM morning show 'Kokrokoo', Kweku Baako said he will be surprised if Kwabena Adjei maintains his position as the chairman of the NDC.
"Looking through his lenses, he told Kwami Sefa Kayi host of the show that "I will be very surprised if he wins…it looks like Portuphy is likely to win based on the things I am hearing and from where I am standing." |
