Jabari Floors Incumbent, Warns NPP

Solomon Reuben Jabari has been elected as the new Atwima Kwanwoma Constituency Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), defeating incumbent Simon Alonga by a substantial margin. Mr. Jabari secured 1,319 votes, while his rival obtained 263 votes in the constituency executive elections held at Twedie Technical Institute in the Ashanti Region.

The new chairman-elect, who assumed office on October 24, cautioned the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) to brace for a fierce competition in the 2028 general election. He attributed his victory to the youthful composition of the new executive team, which he believes will invigorate the party's campaign efforts. Mr. Jabari also apologized to the Electoral Commission (EC) for his earlier allegation that its officials were working for financial gain.

He praised the EC officials and the Ghana Police Service for their professionalism during the election, despite some discord at the voting center. The chairman-elect pledged to unite all factions within the constituency and engage party elders, imams, and pastors to promote unity. He expressed confidence in the new team's ability to strengthen the NDC's grassroots support and improve performance in the constituency.

The NPP was warned not to underestimate the NDC in Atwima Kwanwoma, with Jabari stating that the new executives would intensify grassroots mobilization.
