Voting underway at NDC's historic Congress
20.12.2014 LISTEN

Voting has begun at the 8th national delegates' congress of the governing National Democratic Congress being held at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium of the Ashanti Region.

About 3,600 delegates from ten regions across the country are taking turns to cast their votes to elect 24 national officers out of the 70 contesting various positions declared vacant.

Even before casting of ballots, one of the aspiring candidates in the hotly contested National Chairmanship race, Alhaji Huudu Yahya announced his decision to withdraw from the contest for reasons unknown.

This leaves the contest among three candidates; incumbent Dr. Kwabena Adjei, National Disaster Management organization (NADMO) Boss Kofi Porturphy and former Ambassador Daniel Abodakpi.

Voting is expected to enter deep into the night after which the ballot papers will be sorted, followed by counting and declaration of winners. Story by Ghana | Myjoyonline.com | Jerry Tsatro Mordy | [email protected]
