This is the fourth attempt for Mr. Stephen Ntim in his quest to lead the party.
Freddie Blay was appointed as acting National Chairman of the party after Paul Afoko was suspended in 2016.
Paul Afoko was suspended indefinitely alongside the then National Vice Chairman of the party, Sammy Crabbe and General Secretary, Kwabena Agyepong for “misconduct” which included a disregard for party structures.
