Abdul Rahman Abdul Aziz, known as Chairman White, recently assumed the role of Upper West Regional Chairman for the New Patriotic Party (NPP). At a press conference following the party's victory in regional executive elections, Chairman White announced the NPP's primary goal for the 2028 general elections: to reclaim political power from the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Dr Tanko Daniel Dawda, NPP Upper West Regional Secretary, addressed allegations of vote-buying during the internal election. He clarified that funds provided were only for travel expenses and meals, emphasizing that the party did not officially offer food or transport allowances. Dr Dawda also criticized the NDC's failure to fulfill campaign promises, particularly the Women's Development Bank and the 24-hour economy policy.
Despite losing all parliamentary seats in the Upper West Region in the 2024 elections, he expressed optimism about the party's chances in 2028, noting that four historically challenging constituencies could still be won. Dr Dawda closed by urging unity among party members following the successful internal elections.
