With the commanding lead, he left his closest rival, Alan Kyerematen, trailing with a total of 10 votes.
The other contenders, including Akoto Ampaw and Ken Ofori-Atta, secured 5 and 6 votes respectively.
However, the remaining candidates failed to gain any votes from the Ashanti delegates.
The NPP Super Delegates Conference in the Ashanti Region was closely watched by party supporters, political analysts, and the media, as it was seen as a crucial indicator of the candidates’ popularity and prospects within the region.
