General Secretary of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) John Boadu, has been elected as the Deputy Chairman of the Democratic Union of Africa (DUA).

The Union is the African Alliance of all right-wing political parties and like-minded organisations and think-tanks on the continent of Africa.

John Boadu was elected to the number two position of the African alliance of the International Democrat Union at the Union’s 2020 conference.

Prior to his election, the NPP Chief Scribe had been acting as the Deputy Chair of DUA responsible for West Africa.

He was confirmed as the Honorary Patron of Democratic Union of Africa.

Speaking to some pressmen after his election, Mr Boadu thanked the leaders of the various political parties that attended the conference for the confidence reposed in him.

He promised to work assiduously with the other elected executives to further advance the ideals of the Union in championing the tenets of democracy and other centre-right philosophies on the continent of Africa and beyond.
