Former Deputy Aviation Minister Yaw Mahama Afful has officially declared his intention to contest for the position of Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Mr. Afful’s announcement marks the beginning of what is expected to be a competitive race for the influential regional leadership position as the party prepares for internal elections and organizational restructuring.
The former deputy minister said his decision is motivated by a desire to strengthen party unity, energize the grassroots, and help rebuild the NPP’s fortunes in the Bono Region.
Party supporters and political observers say his experience in government and politics could make him a formidable contender in the race. The regional chairmanship is considered one of the most important positions within the party’s regional structure, with responsibility for coordinating activities, mobilizing supporters, and overseeing party operations.
Mr. Afful is expected to engage delegates and party members across the region as he presents his vision for the future of the NPP in Bono.
Analysts say the outcome of the regional contest could have a significant impact on the party’s organization and electoral strategy in the region ahead of future national elections.
As more candidates are expected to emerge, the Bono NPP chairmanship race is already attracting considerable attention from party faithful and political observers.
