Paul Yandoh has placed third in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Ashanti Regional Secretary election after leaving his previous position as Regional Communications Officer to contest the secretaryship.
Yandoh polled 105 votes, while Francis Adomako won the contest with 492 votes. Michael Amoah Awuku placed second with 331 votes.
Yandoh’s candidacy attracted considerable attention ahead of the election, particularly after Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr Frank Amoakohene, a member of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), publicly endorsed and campaigned for him on social media.
The cross-party show of support generated interest in Yandoh’s prospects among NPP delegates and the wider public.
However, the election results saw Mr Adomako emerge as the clear winner, with Yandoh securing 105 of the valid votes cast.
Yandoh’s defeat means he will not be part of the new Ashanti Regional executive team, having relinquished the Communications Officer position to contest the secretaryship.
The election forms part of the NPP’s reorganisation as the party seeks to strengthen its structures in the Ashanti Region and prepare for the 2028 general elections.
