NDC regional elections: Ade Coker retains chairmanship after close contest

Greater Accra Regional Chairman for the opposition National Democratic Congress, Joseph Kobinna Ade Coker has retained his position following a closely contested elections.

Going into the polls as the favourite, many predicted a landslide victory for Mr. Ade Coker.

After the elections however the Accra regional chairman beat his closest compatriot by 26 votes, having polled 319 out of the 1009 votes cast with one rejected ballot.

Although a victory, pundits will question what might have gone wrong to deny Chairman Ade Coker his landslide victory and what that could mean for the affairs of the party in the capital.

His competitors, Daniel Amartey, Yahya Kundow and Ashlie-Moore polled 293, 113 and 283 respectively.

Over 1,000 delegates converged at the Central Cafeteria of the University of Ghana to elect regional officers who would steer the affairs of the party in the 2020 general elections today, September 1.
