NDC Congress: I will be surprised if Kwabena Adjei wins - Kweku Baako
Managing Editor of the New Crusading Guide
newspaper, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako Jr has tipped
Kofi Portuphy, National Coordinator of the
National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO)
to win the chairmanship position of the ruling
National Democratic Congress (NDC).

The NDC will on Saturday, 20th December, 2014
elect new executives at their upcoming National
Delegates Congress.

For the Chairmanship position, Kofi Portuphy, Mr
Dan Abodakpi, a former minister of state and
diplomat, and Alhaji Huudu Yahaya, a former
secretary, former General Secretary of the party
and incumbent Vice-Chairman of the party, will be
attempting to snatch the position from the
incumbent, Kwabena Adjei.

Abdullah Ishaq Farrakhan of the Obuasi
Constituency office of the NDC will be contesting
the incumbent Johnson Asiedu Nketia for the
General Secretary position while the position of
Deputy General Secretary will be keenly contested
by the incumbent, Mr George Lawson; Mr Kwadjo Adu
Asare, the immediate past MP for Adenta and
presidential staffer, Mr Koku Anyidoho, the
Communications Director at the Presidency in the
era of President J.E.A. Mills, Wisdom Kwame
Amaglo, J.R.D. Cobbina and Evans Armoo.

Another position that will attract the attention
of political observers is that of the National
Organiser, which is fiercely being contested by
the incumbent, Mr Boateng-Gyan; Mr Kofi Adams, an
incumbent Deputy General Secretary and Spokesman
for former President Rawlings, and Mr Emmanuel
Aboagye Didieye, the MP for Afram Plains North.

Contributing to a panel discussion and speaking to
the issue on PEACE FM morning show 'Kokrokoo',
Kweku Baako said he will be surprised if Kwabena
Adjei maintains his position as the chairman of
the NDC.

"Looking through his lenses, he told Kwami Sefa
Kayi host of the show that "I will be very
surprised if he wins…it looks like Portuphy is
likely to win based on the things I am hearing and
from where I am standing."
