NPP delegates wanted youthful energy with Kojo Bamba’s election – Political scientist

Political scientist at the University of Ghana, Dr Kwame Asah-Asante, says the election of Kwadwo Fosu Boadu, popularly known as Kojo Bamba, as First Vice Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) reflects delegates’ desire for youthful energy and fresh ideas in the party’s leadership.

Kojo Bamba was elected First Vice Chairman of the NPP after topping the party’s Vice Chairmanship contest with 3,116 votes.

Speaking on Joy FM’s Midday News, he said he believes Mr Bamba’s election was driven largely by sections of the party’s rank and file who wanted a younger person capable of bringing renewed energy to the position.
