“So far, in both our branch and Constituency executives’ elections, the pattern has been the re-election of the winning team back into the office and this serves commonsense very well because in life, you do not fix what is not broken.
“Our winning team has won two elections in a row and winning elections is why you elect executives.
In the spirit of this wisdom, I am expecting nothing else but massive
re-election of our hardworking regional Chairman for Greater Accra, Divine Otoo Agohorm,” Nene Ofoe-Teyechu Agbadiagba IV wrote.
Mr. Agohorm was elected into office in 2018 in a tight election in which he beat his close contender, Mr. Alfred Boye, by six votes.
Before his election, Mr. Agorhom was the Chairman of the COB-A Group of companies and was said to have been very resourceful and generous towards the party even before contesting to become Chairman.
“In the last election that brought into office our indefatigable Greater Accra regional Chairman, the winning gap was only six votes. This time round, we expect a landslide victory because of the great achievements we have seen from him,” Nene Ofoe-Teyechu Agbadiagba IV wrote.
He called on all delegates in Greater Accra to, “rally for a continuation of the agenda to retain our winning team so that we can break the eight,” adding, “the team which achieved the eight can be trusted to break the eight.”
“Divine Agohorm knows the terrain of the region and many party executives think he has performed very well and must be retained” Mr. Stephen Aboagye, an NPP guru said.
