A 56-year-old businessman from Half Assini, Mathew Nda, has been elected as the constituency chairman for the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Jomoro of the Western Region.

The Jomoro NPP Constituency Executives election was put on hold due to the parliamentary election petition against the NDC MP for the area, Dorcas Afo-Toffey.

The national executives of the party put the Jomoro election on hold in order to concentrate on the election petition, but unfortunately, the Sekondi High Court ruled in favour of the NDC MP, Dorcas Afo-Toffey.

At the end of the keenly contested election held on Saturday, February 11, 2023, at the Mpataba Community Center, Mr. Matthew Nda polled 435 votes to win the chairmanship race by beating his main contenders, Marshall Akainyah, who had 368 votes, Eric Muah, who polled 168 votes, and Francis Adjei, who managed to get 134 votes.

The secretary position went to Moses Andoh from Elubo, who polled 485 votes to beat Thomas Ackatia Kwasi, who polled 349 votes, Emmanuel Amihere, who got 169 votes, and Anthony Annor, who managed to get 79 votes.

Augustine Nwolley polled 433 votes to emerge victorious in the organizer position by beating his main contenders, Bediako Yaw Adams, who polled 304 votes, Andrews Acquah, who polled 179 votes, and Isaac Gyeni, who got 169 votes.

Speaking after the declaration of the results, Mathew Nda expressed his profound appreciation to the delegates for giving him the mandate to steer affairs of the Jomoro NPP for the next four years.

He vowed to unite the party's rank and file in the area in order to reclaim the Jomoro Parliamentary seat for the party in 2024.

He also called on the NPP members to rally behind the newly elected constituency executives and the NPP government.
