Former Finance Minister and Member of Parliament for Karaga, Dr Mohammed Amin Adam, has thrown his support behind former Member of Parliament for Bortianor-Ngleshie-Amanfro, Sylvester Tetteh (Sly), who is contesting for the position of General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Dr Amin Adam declared his endorsement during a courtesy call on him by Sylvester Tetteh and his campaign team on Sunday, June 28, 2026, as part of ongoing consultations ahead of the party’s internal elections.

He explained that his support for Tetteh is based on confidence in his ability to perform effectively in the role, adding that leadership positions in the party must be filled by individuals with proven capacity and commitment.
