Thirty-four aspirants are contesting 11 executive positions, meaning 22 candidates will not secure the positions they seek.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Ashanti region is holding executive elections, urging candidates to prioritize party interests over personal ambitions after the polls. Thirty-four candidates are competing for 11 positions, with 22 not securing their desired roles. Nana Ayeh Asafo-Adjei, a member of the Election Committee and MP for Bosome Freho, urges the defeated candidates to remain committed to the party and share their insights with the new leadership.
He believes the elected officials should tolerate dissenting views and utilize their opponents' expertise. Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, a former Education Minister and MP for Bosomtwe, advises the victors to reach out to the losers and integrate their ideas into the party's agenda. He emphasizes that while individual candidates may win, the true winner should be the NPP.
Manhyia North MP, Akwasi Konadu, insists there should be no losers and calls for unity among all 34 aspirants to help the NPP regain power in 2028. Oforikrom MP Michael Aidoo warns against division within the party following the election and urges both winners and losers to maintain their campaign energy and work together for the NPP's return to power.
Party leaders acknowledge that the election will yield winners and losers, but unity among all candidates is crucial for the party's political future.
