Godfred Apasinaba Wumbei, popularly known as Yellow Man, has been elected Northern Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), securing 328 votes in the party’s regional executive elections. He defeated Alhaji Tanko Maida, who obtained 236 votes, while Abdul-Hamid Alhassan Gbewaa polled 27 votes. The incumbent regional chairman did not contest in the election, paving the way for a new leadership contest.
Mr Wumbei’s victory comes amid allegations that 18 pickup vehicles were distributed to constituencies across the region ahead of the polls, with claims that the gesture was intended to influence delegates in his favour. The vehicles were reportedly distributed on Friday night, November 13, with one allegedly allocated to each of the region’s 18 constituencies.
