  "summary": "The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has narrowed its race to lead the party to four aspirants after vetting 121 candidates, disqualifying 23. The four remaining candidates are Sofo Azorka, former ministers Akwasi Oppong-Fosu and Nii Armah Ashietey, and former Odododiodio MP Edwin Nii Lantey Vanderpuye. Dr Peter Boamah Otokunor, spokesperson for the Congress Elections Committee, announced the results at a press briefing at the party's headquarters in Accra. The disqualified candidates failed to meet the party's constitution requirements for national executive aspirants. The winners who face no opposition include General Secretary Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, National Organiser Joseph Yammin, and Communications Officer Godwin Ako-Gunn. The two deputy women's organizer slots also went uncontested as only two nominees passed vetting.",
