Former Minister of Health, Dr. Bernard Okoe-Boye has been elected the New Patriotic Party\u2019s (NPP) Greater Accra Regional Chairman after securing a decisive victory in the party\u2019s regional executive elections held on Saturday, August 15.<\/p>\n
Dr Okoe Boye polled 490 votes to defeat Alfred Boye, who secured 172 votes, giving him a 318-vote margin.<\/p>\n
His election comes at a critical time for the NPP in the Greater Accra Region, where the party is seeking to rebuild its political fortunes after a significant setback in the 2024 general elections.<\/p>\n
The NPP previously held 14 of the region\u2019s 34 parliamentary seats but saw its number fall to five after the 2024 elections, resulting in the loss of eight seats.<\/p>\n
The party\u2019s poor performance in the region has heightened calls for stronger organisation, improved grassroots mobilisation and a renewed strategy to reclaim lost constituencies ahead of the 2028 general elections.<\/p>\n
Dr Okoe Boye will therefore have the task of leading the regional party structure through this rebuilding process and working with constituency executives to strengthen the NPP\u2019s presence across Greater Accra.<\/p>\n
The Greater Accra Regional Chairman is responsible for coordinating the party\u2019s constituency structures, mobilising supporters and overseeing the implementation of decisions taken by the party\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n
Dr Okoe Boye\u2019s victory gives him a clear mandate to lead the NPP in the region as the party seeks to regain lost parliamentary seats and expand its support base ahead of the 2028 elections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
