NDC

With an overwhelming 123 votes difference, former party Chairman of the Western Region branch of the National Democratic Congress, Nana Toku on Saturday, September 1, 2018, overthrew incumbent chair, Michael Aidoo [a.k.a Big Aidoo], at the Delegates conference held at Sefwi Wiaso- Datano.

Nana Toku, Chairman-Elect polled a total of 469 votes whiles defeated Michael Aidoo had 346 of the total valid votes.

This would be the second time Nana Toku has been elected as Regional Chairman for the NDC in the Western Region, after suffering a humongous defeat from Michael Aidoo in a regional delegates conference prior to the 2012 elections.

During his tenure from 2008 to 2012, Nana Toku through his leadership amassed eighteen parliamentary seats for the NDC in the Western Region.

His achievement, as he claimed during campaigns has been diminished by his successor – Michael Aidoo, for losing eight of the seats to the New Patriotic Party in the 2016 general elections.

He assured delegates his come back would bring about the restoration of political power for the party in the 2020 general elections.

In the meantime, incumbent Regional Organiser, Japhet Baidoo has been maintained, and Kirk Mensah elected as the Communications Director for the party in the Western Region.
