WR: NPP executives throw support behind Horma Akaisi Mieza for National 1st Vice Chairperson race

In the Western Region of Ghana, opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) officials, alongside constituency chairpersons, have come together to endorse the nomination of Hon. Horma Akaisi Mieza for the position of National First Vice Chairperson. This decisive move was made at the party's headquarters in Accra, with the regional executives led by Ignatius Kwasi Afrifa and Secretary-elect Kwesi Bonzo displaying their unwavering support.

Hon. Horma Akaisi Mieza, the previous Western Regional Treasurer, is the sole candidate from the region aspiring for a national position, making her appeal a cause for collective backing.

The regional officials are convinced that her extensive experience and proven dedication to the party at the local level render her a formidable candidate to represent the Western Region nationally. Before the contribution of GH¢30,000 to purchase the nomination forms, Kwesi Bonzo emphasized the unanimous decision made by the regional executive and constituency chairpersons to champion her candidature.

Highlighting the importance of having a representative from their region in national decision-making, Afrifa underscored their confidence in Horma's abilities, stating that the region is resolute in backing her and is committed to seeing her succeed. This initiative is seen as a testament to the unity within the Western Regional leadership and a strategic move to ensure a robust voice for the region in the party's upcoming national elections.
