Newly-elected National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Stephen Ntim has expressed gratitude to all party faithful for electing him to lead the party for the next four years.
Addressing party members after he and other National Executive officers have been sworn into office, Mr. Ntim noted that “after twenty years of wandering in the wilderness before getting this far, I am going to cherish the chairmanship position, I will value the chairmanship position and I will make sure that it remains enviable”.
He assured that as the new party Chairman, “the new executive will work assiduously for the party to win election 2024.”
Mr Ntim polled 4,014 votes to beat his contenders.
He has contested for the position on four previous occasions. The just-ended conference is his fifth attempt.
He however served as the party’s first Vice-Chairman between 2001 and 2005.
Mr Ntim’s first attempt to be chairman of the party was in December 2005.
In 2005, Mr Ntim lost to Peter Mac Manu, who became President Akufo-Addo’s campaign manager in the 2016 polls.
His second attempt was in 2010, where he lost to Jake Okanta Obetsebi-Lamptey.
