Former Minister of Health, Dr Bernard Okoe-Boye, has been elected the Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Dr Okoe-Boye secured 490 votes to beat his contender, Alfred Boye, who polled 172 votes, giving him a decisive 318-vote victory in the regional executive elections held on Saturday, August 15.
His election comes as the NPP seeks to rebuild its structures and improve its electoral fortunes in the Greater Accra Region ahead of the 2028 general elections.
The party suffered a significant setback in the region during the 2024 elections, losing eight of its 14 parliamentary seats and being reduced to five seats.
The development has increased calls for stronger grassroots mobilisation, improved party organisation and renewed strategies to reclaim constituencies lost in the previous election.
As the new Regional Chairman, Dr Okoe-Boye is expected to work with constituency executives and other party stakeholders to strengthen the NPP’s presence across the region.
He will also oversee the coordination of the party’s regional and constituency structures as the NPP prepares for the 2028 elections.
His decisive victory gives him a strong mandate to lead the party’s rebuilding efforts in Greater Accra and work towards regaining lost parliamentary seats.
