Campaign Strategy for 2028 Elections

Other executives elected include Deputy Secretary Titus Attamiah, Regional Treasurer Oxford Kwasi Agboli, Regional Organiser Wisdom Klutsey, Women's Organiser Lebene Gbeti, Youth Organiser Senyo Emmanuel Amekplenu, Nasara Organiser Abdullah Suala, and Communications Officer Perry Kwashie Nuwordu.

The outcome of the election is a testament to the party's commitment to unity and collective leadership. As Makafui Woanya takes the reins for a third term, the party's chances of success in the 2028 elections are expected to be boosted. The party's focus on the presidential votes is expected to be a key factor in determining the outcome of the elections.
