NPP host executive elections at Accra Sports Stadium
Nana B re-elected as National Organiser of NPP
The New Patriotic Party(NPP) went to the polls on Saturday, July 16, 2022, to elect a new set of national executives ahead of the 2024 general election.
Among the many candidates vying for positions were Asante Kotoko's commercial manager, Eric Amoako Twum and former Hearts of Oak management member, Aziz Haruna Futa.
In the elections that came off at the Accra Sports Stadium, while Twum lost by a bigger margin, Futa earned a convincing win.
Here are the results of the two football personalities who were in contention for a position
Eric Twum
The former Parliamentary candidate for Fantekwa South Constituency was competing with Daniel Nii Kwartei, incumbent Henry Nana Boakye, Bright Essilfie Kumi, Seth Adu-Adjei, Eric Amoako, and Nana Owusu Fordjour for the national organiser position.
