NewzAbdul-Aziz Abdu-Rahaman has been elected Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Upper West Region, emerging victorious in the party’s regional executive elections held in Wa. Mr Abdu-Rahaman polled 173 votes to defeat his sole contender, Kantong Alaska, who secured 86 votes. The election took place at the Wa Technical Institute, where delegates also voted to elect executives who will oversee the party’s activities in the region as it begins preparations towards the 2028 general elections.
Majeed Liman was elected First Vice Chairman with 198 votes, while Philip Braimah secured 166 votes to become Second Vice Chairman.

The polls were largely peaceful, although proceedings were briefly disrupted at the Wa Technical Institute when some delegates from the Nandom Constituency interrupted the voting process. Alhaji Iddrisu Sulemana has been elected Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Savannah Region after narrowly defeating former Ghana Water Limited Managing Director Clifford Abdallah Braimah in the party’s regional executive elections.
