Dr Adjei told journalists that: “The prospects are great, you wait and see,” adding that: “If I wouldn’t win, I wouldn’t have stood.”

For the General Secretary position, entrant Abdul Ishaq Farrakhan got the first position on the ballot paper while the incumbent, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, picked the second spot.

As far as the Organiser slot is concerned, former President Jerry Rawlings’ Spokesperson Kofi Adams picked the first slot followed by Aboagye Didieye with the third position picked by the incumbent Yaw Boateng Gyan.
