Accra, Nov. 13, GNA – Ms Felicia Mekpoi Bortey has retained her position as Greater Accra Regional Women’s Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for a fourth term.
Mr Mohammed Abdul Muqmin Juda was also elected the Regional Youth Organiser.
Ms Bortey secured 65 votes to defeat her contenders, Ms Happy Ogboo Maccarthy Darku, who polled 31 votes, and Ms Evelyn Dodzi Dzeketey, who obtained five votes.
Mr Juda polled 103 votes to beat Mr Richard Dogbe, who secured 26 votes in the Youth Organiser contest.
The two were declared winners at the party’s Greater Accra Regional elections held on Friday, ahead of the regional conference scheduled for Saturday, November 14.
In the contest for Deputy Women’s Organiser, Ms Josephine Cornelius Lawal and Ms Jessica Patience Braimah tied with 40 votes each, while Ms Alimatu Musah Issah and Ms Fati Mohammed obtained 10 and nine votes, respectively.
The Electoral Commission declared Ms Lawal First Deputy Women’s Organiser and Ms Braimah Second Deputy Women’s Organiser.
For the Deputy Youth Organiser position, Mr Daniel Niibi Afotey Odai secured 45 votes, followed by Mr Atsu Eric Afeme with 44 votes, while Mr Rashid Isah obtained eight votes.
Mr Afotey Odai and Mr Afeme were declared First and Second Deputy Youth Organisers, respectively.
Speaking to the media after the declaration, Ms Bortey attributed her re-election to her commitment, loyalty and years of service to the party, saying the delegates’ support had given her another opportunity to lead the women’s wing in the region.
She said her retention for a fourth term reflected the confidence women had in her leadership and experience, having risen through the ranks of the party.
“My message is that this victory is for all of us. I therefore plead with my opponents to come on board. Let us collectively work for the betterment of the NDC,” she said.
Ms Bortey stressed that the victory was not about her individual achievement but the collective interest of the party and the need to strengthen its structures in the Greater Accra Region.
“It is not about Felicia, but about the NDC, Greater Accra,” she said, urging members to put aside their differences and work together towards the party’s progress.
She also expressed appreciation to Dr Valerie Sawyer, Dr Hanna-Louisa Bisiu, the party’s National Chairman, and women organisers and their deputies from the region’s 34 constituencies for their support.
Ms Bortey’s re-election would see her continue leading the regional women’s wing, while Mr Juda would coordinate the party’s youth activities in the region.
The regional elections form part of the NDC’s broader efforts to reorganise its internal structures and strengthen them for effective political and organisational work.
