The elections, held at Ohene Ameyaw Park in Techiman, saw Boakye poll 1,203 votes against Nuhu’s 653 to become the new constituency chairman.

Voting ended at 3 pm, with sorting and counting beginning immediately. The results showed significant changes in the constituency’s leadership, as delegates voted out several other sitting executives. In his acceptance speech after the winners were sworn in, Boakye called for unity and pledged to work towards winning the Techiman South parliamentary seat from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2028 general election.

“My biggest dream is to wrestle power from the NPP in the 2028 parliamentary elections,” he said. “Techiman South has eluded us for too long — but today, we begin the journey to reclaim what is rightfully ours.” More incumbent executives defeated In the contest for communications officer, Baba Issah defeated incumbent Hassan Balluka, polling 1,296 votes against Balluka’s 894.

The new Chairman, Kwasi Boakye, extended an olive branch to his opponents and urged the party to close ranks ahead of the 2028 battle. “Today is not about winners and losers. Today is about the NDC family in Techiman South,” he said. “Let us put the past behind us and work together. The NPP has held this seat since 2016 — but with unity and determination, we will take it back.” The Road to 2028 The NDC has not won Techiman South since 2016.

In 2020, the party lost by just 477 votes; a result it contested in court but failed to overturn. In 2024, the seat was again at the centre of controversy, with re-collation confirming the NPP’s Martin Adjei-Mensah Korsah as winner. With a new executive in place, the party is hoping the tide will turn. The NDC’s Bono East Regional Chairman, Unas Owusu, has publicly stated that the party will emerge victorious in Techiman South and all Bono East seats in 2028.
