NDC Elections: Incumbent Chairman Unas Owusu Urges Bono East Delegates to Retain Him

TECHIMAN, Bono East — Mr. Unas Owusu, the incumbent Bono East Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has urged the delegates to retain him.

He challenged the delegates to consider his contributions that led the party to win political power in the Election 2024.

Mr. Owusu, popularly known as “Chairman Unasco,” gave the advice in an interview with the media at Techiman, the regional capital, ahead of the party’s elections after he ended his campaign in the various constituencies in the region.

He said the political campaign tour offered him the opportunity to account for his four-year stewardship to the delegates, members, and supporters of the party.

Priorities for Election 2028

Mr. Owusu insisted that his excellent leadership in Bono East partly contributed to the NDC election victory in 2024, pledging to remain dedicated and render selfless services for the party to retain political power in the Election 2028.

He emphasised that reclaiming the Techiman South parliamentary seat from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and retaining the 10 additional parliamentary seats in the region in the Election 2028 remained his utmost priority.

Mr. Owusu indicated that winning the presidential polls in the next General Election was just a done deal for the NDC.

Refuting Motorbike Allegations

He refuted allegations that he had bought and distributed about 400 motorbikes to delegates across the region, describing that allegation as a ploy adopted by his contenders to make him unpopular in the eyes of the well-discerned delegates.

Mr. Owusu urged the delegates and the party in general to shun those allegations, consider his proven track record, and make informed decisions by voting for him when they go to the polls.

He emphasised that the interest of the NDC ought to supersede everyone’s political ambition if the party desired to retain political power.

Strengthening Party Structures

Looking into the Election 2028, Mr. Owusu described the General Election as crucial to the NDC, saying that the party required experienced and loyal regional executives to run the affairs of the NDC.

He reiterated his dedication to strengthening the party’s structures and strengthening the grassroots support base of the NDC.

Mr. Owusu urged the delegates and his following to remain calm and decorous, asking them not to be influenced by gifts, money, and material inducements, but to endeavour to vote on merit in the supreme interest of the NDC.

He pledged to implement strategic and innovative plans that would make the NDC more appealing in the region, woo the electorate, widen the votes of the party, and enhance the NDC’s fortunes of retaining political power in the Election 2028.
