Abdul-Aziz Abdu-Rahaman has been chosen as the new Upper West Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He garnered 173 votes, surpassing his opponent, Kantong Alaska, who received 86 votes during the regional executive elections.
The elections took place at the Wa Technical Institute, where delegates selected new executives to oversee the party’s regional operations in preparation for the 2028 general elections.
The newly appointed executives are anticipated to lead the party’s reorganisation and mobilisation initiatives in the region, as the NPP aims to fortify its structures in anticipation of the 2028 elections.
