NDC regional elections: Dzifa Attivor floored, Gyapong retains seat

Former Transport Minister Dzifa Attivor has been kicked to the curb by delegates in the National Democratic Congress’ stronghold after the party’s just ended regional elections.

Madam Attivor was left to lick her wounds after she lost the chairmanship position to the incumbent John Kwadwo Gyapong in a fairly contested polls.

The former Minister polled 374 votes as against 491 votes by Mr. John Gyapong.

Prior to the elections Madam Attivor who is also the chair of the Women Working committee of the party noted that the party had come of age to have women playing commanding roles at the helm of affairs, stressing that “men have led this party since its inception but I believe the time has come for us women to take charge and lead the NDC into the future.”

She thus appealed to the party delegates to support her make history, stressing that she had the clout to unite and give hope to the party’s branches, connect the party back to the cadres, get women to be part of the new NDC, attract first-time voters into the NDC, as well as build a strong partnership with the media in the region.
