He went into the contest against 18 other aspirants for the position out of which, he together and four others got the nod.
He polled 1596 votes to be the first in the contest which also saw stalwarts like Araba Tagoe garnering 1017, Cecilia Asaga getting 845, Victoria Kumah-Mintah with 716 and Ephraim Nii Tan Sackey making 506 of the votes and elected in that order for the NEC membership positions.
Commenting on his election, Wonder Kutor told Journalists the delegates bought into his message which is to work hard to get the NDC elected and be in power for at least 16 years.
"I am expressing gratitude to all the delegates who welcomed me across the country and in some cases met me late in the night and in vehicles.
"I also congratulate my colleagues and most importantly, the newly elected Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketia.
