Godfred Apasinaba Wumbei, widely known as Yellowman, emerged victorious in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Northern Regional chairmanship elections by securing 328 votes. He outperformed Alhaji Tanko Maida, who garnered 236 votes, and Abdul-Hamid Alhassan Gbewaa, who received 27 votes. Notably, the incumbent regional chairman did not participate in the election, which led to a fresh leadership contest.
The election also saw claims of 18 pickup vehicles being distributed across the region's 18 constituencies prior to the polls, allegedly to sway delegates in favor of Yellowman. However, these allegations remain unverified. The other positions contested in the Northern Regional executive elections included Vice Chairman Sadick Mohammed, who received 254 votes, and Secretary Prof. Abukari Wumbei, who secured 317 votes.
