He urged the winners to team up with the other aspirants to work to maintain and guard the enviable democratic tenants of the Party.

“We are happy with the success recorded here. Our delegates conducted themselves very well. We know at some point tempers were high but for the sake of peace, you continued to tolerate each other,” Mr Awuku said.

“To the candidates who won it is our prayer that you will be magnanimous in victory and those who lost will be gracious in defeat.

Mr Agorhom, on his part, said he was confident of delivering on his promises and bridging the gap between the regional executives and the grassroots.

“It’s been a long walk to this victory. This is a victory for all of us, we are one big family. We need to come together and work for the common good of the Party and then our country Ghana. To our brothers who couldn’t sail through we still say thank you,” he said.

“For the elected officers, we pledge to deliver on our promises. I will bring everybody on board to ensure that we use the best strategies possible so we can go beyond 2020."
