We’ll gently, cautiously speed into 2016 to retain Mahama – Portuphy
The newly elected chairman of the National
Democratic Congress (NDC), Kofi Portuphy has
declared getting President Mahama re-elected in
2016 his primary target.

He said his election is an indication that the
party has moved forward and made a giant leap in
readiness for 2016.

Mr. Portuphy who is the national coordinator of
NADMO out staged incumbent Dr. Kwabena Adjei and
walloped Dan Abodakpi to win the chairmanship
slot.

Kofi Portuphy chalked a landslide victory in the
results declared by the Electoral Commissioner on
Sunday dawn obtaining 2,457 of the valid votes
cast at the NDC’s national delegates’ congress
held at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.
Dan Abodakpi placed second with 508 votes with Dr.
Kwabena Adjei trailing behind with 316. The fourth
contender Alhaji Hudu Yahaya shockingly withdrew
at the eleventh hour for undisclosed reasons.

Mr. Portuphy exclusively told Joy News’ Evans
Mensah the sound victory represents the loud voice
of the delegates, which means “expectations are
high, expectation may be overrun but with God we
will make it”.

Having shown Ghanaians that the NDC is a peaceful
party, he said the new leadership is bent on
“achieving good results for the party and we
will tread gently, cautiously and we will speed
into 2016”.

He said he would ensure that no stone is left
unturned to ensure victory for President John
Mahama in 2016.

Mr. Portuphy is looking forward to tap into the
experience of the current executive as well as
experienced party members to confront challenges
facing the party
