AS THE date for the upcoming New Patriotic Party (NPP) National Executives elections gradually draws closer, some key party members (contestants) have emerged as hot favourites.
They include Stephen Ayensu Ntim, John Boadu, and Lawyer Henry Nana Boakye aka ‘Nana B’, who are gunning for the national chairman, general secretary, and organizer positions, respectively.
The trio are expected to win in their various positions if the elections were to be held today, according to a leaked research carefully conducted by the Research Bureau at the Office of the Presidency.
Time of Research
The research was conducted during the NPP National Delegates Conference, held in Kumasi from December 18 to 20, 2021, which was graced by NPP members from the 275 constituencies in the country.
The research, undertaken by top pollsters, reportedly sent out a staggering number of 4,000 questionnaires, which attracted 3,920 responses, representing 98 percent success rate.
The researchers mainly asked about which of the contestants were popular in the party and could therefore lead the NPP to make history in 2024 by winning a third consecutive national election.
Generally, most of the party’s delegates have made up their minds already, with regards to who they would cast their ballot for during the polls. In percentage wise, just three to 5 percent were undecided.
National Chairman Race
In the National Chairman race, Stephen Ayensu Ntim took a commanding lead, polling 60.3%, followed by Stephen Asamoah-Boateng 18.1%, Prof. Ameyaw Ekumfi 10.2%, Robert Kutin Jnr 4.5% and Abankwa Yeboah 3.8% in that order. Just 3.1% were undecided.
Stephen Ntim has contested for the same position on a number of occasions in the past but he lost all of them. This time around, mother luck would certainly smile at him as the NPP delegates see him as a fighter and a patriot.
