NDC congress: Portuphy is new NDC chairman



The National Democratic Congress (NDC) is heading into the 2016 elections with a new national chairman, Kofi Portuphy.

The boss of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) beat incumbent Dr Kwabena Adjei at the 8th national delegates’ congress of the ruling party in Kumasi, Saturday.

Portuphy polled 2,413 as against Adjei’s 392 after a marathon vote cast in the stronghold of the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Former MP for Keta, Dan Abodakpi, managed 610 votes. The other contestant Alhaji Huudu Yahaya, who was a vice chairman, prior to voting pulled out.

Seventy candidates slugged it out for 15 national executive positions at the party’s national delegates’ congress. About 4000 delegates across the country were involved in the voting process to elect new leadership ahead of the 2016 elections.
