Oti Region : Amanor Prince Wins NPP Youth Organizer Race

A former administrator of the New Patriotic Party in the Volta Region, Amanor Prince, has emerged the victor in the youth organiser race in the just ended regional executive elections held at the Yabram Community SHS in Dambai, the Oti regional capital.

The former TESCON president of the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS), beat off competition from other contenders, polling 130 votes out of a total valid votes cast of 197.

Meanwhile, the victor came into the race as a well known youth activist with a general appeal in the region. However Hukash Muntari, who was the incumbent deputy regional youth organiser could only manage an abysmal 15 votes, the rest, Peter Attafoe and Alabi Mike, who polled 34 and 18 votes respectively. Reports indicates that, majority of Prince Amanor’s contenders were not well known in the party within the region until their expression of interest to contest the elections.

With Amanor, crowned Prince of the Oti regional wing of the NPP, it is a further in the cup of the NPPs vision to break the 8. A young, affable and dynamic young patriot, with a strong organisational abilities,he is expected to give the NDC a run for their money in a region dominated by the opposition party.

Other elected officers include Evans Yaw Dapaah, who was retained as the regional chairman, Jonathan Akpabe Manu, who transitioned from regional elections and research officer to regional secretary and Ade Felix, Organizer. The rest are Alice Mensah, women’s organiser, Joe Denteh, treasurer, Castro Ahenkora, first vice chairman, Doris Abronye, second vice chairman, Daniel Asiedu, deputy secretary and Aliu Bashir Sharubutu, who was also retained as Nasara coordinator.

As to whether the current blend of elected officers have the magic to pull surprises on the NDC by winning parliamentary seats for the NPP in the region where they currently have none, lies in the belly on time.
