Kadjebi (O/R), Nov. 14, GNA – The Oti Regional Executive Elections of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is being held at Bueman Senior High School (BUSEC) in Jasikan, with 345 delegates from the nine constituencies expected to participate in the voting exercise.
A total of 46 candidates are contesting 15 regional executive positions to determine the party’s leadership for the next four-year term.
Mr Mark Kwadwo Ntoso, the Oti Regional Director of Elections and Information Technology (IT) of the NDC, disclosed this to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in an interview.
He said preparations had been completed to ensure the smooth conduct of the elections, adding that all necessary arrangements were made ahead of the exercise.
Mr Ntoso said some national and regional party officials, including Mr Mustapha Gbande, the Deputy National Secretary of the NDC, and Mr John Kwadwo Gyapong, Oti Regional Minister, were expected to attend the elections.
He said the Ghana Police Service was providing security to maintain law and order throughout the electoral process.
The election was expected to bring together delegates from all nine constituencies to elect officers who would steer the affairs of the party at the regional level, he said.
He also explained that the exercise formed part of the party’s internal democratic process to elect regional officers to oversee its organisational and political activities in the Oti Region.
