Unas Owusu preaches unity as he retains Bono East NDC Chairmanship position

Correspondence from Bono East Region

Delegates of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Bono East have retained Unas Owusu as the Regional Chairman for another four years.

At the end of voting at the party’s Second Regional Delegates Conference in Atebubu on Sunday, November 2022, Unas Owusu polled 212 votes to brush off stiff competition from his sole contender, Akwasi Lampo who managed 149 votes.

Whilst another notable incumbent, Gakpo Kofi Raphael defeated renowned football administrator, Charles Kwadwo Ntim, to retain his position as the Regional Treasurer, Mohammed Shemsudeeni Ali lost his position as the Regional Secretary to Isaac Adaebsah.

Addressing the media after the new executives have been sworn into office, the newly elected Regional Chairman promised to build a united front for the NDC to capture all the eleven seats in the region.

He charged members of the party to bury their differences now that the elections are over so that they can forge ahead in unison to wrestle power from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in 2024.

“One of the key things I will do is bring everybody on board because the elections are over and we need a united front to ensure victory for the NDC in 2024 and that is something on top of my agenda and so I am entreating every member of the NDC to come on board to make the party stronger because we are one family”.
