Obeng Inkoom has been elected Central Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) after a tightly contested vote at Dunkwa-on-Offin.
The private legal practitioner polled 372 votes to unseat incumbent Dr. Richard Asiedu, who secured 364 votes. A third candidate, Ibrahim Mohammed, managed 16 votes.
The eight-vote margin made the Central Regional race one of the closest in the party’s regional executive elections.
Speaking after his victory, Inkoom pledged to unite the party’s factions and strengthen its structures. He said his leadership would be guided by unity and the NDC’s founding values.
“I issued a policy statement, and it is to the effect that I will build a united party and that united party will be based on the principles of the formation of the NDC, which we call the value proposition and that is honesty, integrity, probity and accountability,” he said.
He also promised to train party members to better communicate the NDC’s message.
