Paul Yandoh loses Ashanti NPP Secretary race despite cross-party backing

Paul Yandoh placed third in the recent Ashanti Regional Secretary election of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), despite garnering support from cross-party figures. The contest saw Francis Adomako emerge victorious with 492 votes, while Michael Amoah Awuku secured second place with 331 votes. Yandoh, who previously served as the Regional Communications Officer, received only 105 votes in the election.

His candidacy gained attention due to endorsements from both the Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr Frank Amoakohene, and other party leaders on social media platforms. Although the cross-party support generated interest, Yandoh finished third, meaning he will not join the new Ashanti Regional executive team. The NPP's internal reorganisation aims to strengthen its structures and grassroots presence in the Ashanti Region ahead of the 2028 general elections.
