Former General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, is the Chairman-elect of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

The 65-year-old politician emerged winner with a landslide victory at the 2022 National Delegates Congress of the Party, held at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday, December 17, 2022.

According to provisional results, Mr Asiedu Nketiah, who stepped down as the General Secretary after 17 years, polled 5,574, representing 65.17 per cent, to win.

Mr Ofosu Ampofo trailed Mr Nketiah with 2,892 votes representing 33.81 per cent at the NDC’s 10th National Delegates Congress.

Popularly known as General Mosquito, Mr Asiedu Nketia relinquished his 17-year reign as the NDC’s General Secretary to run for the chairmanship role.

Ahead of the polls, he bade farewell to his members and urged all to forgive any transgressions that may have emanated from his office while serving as the General Secretary.

“Those I’ve offended, may the Lord touch your hearts to forgive me. The credit I have made so far is shared and attributed to the footsoldiers of this party,” the party firebrand said on Saturday.

The others in the chairmanship race also included Samuel Yaw Adusei and Nii Armah Ashitey.
