WA, April 1, Ghanadot/GNA- The Upper West
Regional branch of the Democratic Freedom Party (DFP), on
Sunday held its maiden regional congress during which new
executives were elected.
The event was a forerunner to the DFP national delegates'
congress scheduled for April 4 and April 5 this year.
The new executives, elected unopposed, were Mr Kwame Mumuni,
businessman, Chairman, Mr Alhassan Bin Iddrisu, first
vice-Chairman while Alhaji Seidu Sumaila and Mr Mathew Bonye,
an Educationist second vice-chairman and Regional Secretary
respectively.
The election, which was supervised by the Wa Municipal
Director of the Electoral Commission, also elected Miss Lucy
Lang-er treasurer, Mr Richard Batuure, regional youth
organizer, Mr David Balooro regional Organizer and Miss
Odila Mona, Women's Organizer.
Mr Michael Kabumah, a Wa based Legal Practitioner, who is
also in-charge of the Wa office of the Legal Aid Board swore
the executives into office.
Addressing the congress after the election, Mr Mumuni said
the DFP was going into this year's election with the aim of
winning the polls and not to play second fiddle to any of
the so-called giant political parties.
He said all the grass root structures that were necessary to
ensure victory had been put in place and people were joining
the party in droves from the other political parties.
Mr Mumuni said the Party would fill parliamentary candidates
in all the ten constituencies in the region.
He said he was optimistic that if the current level of
support for the party in the region was sustained, the DFP
would win not less than five of the ten parliamentary seats
in the region.
Mr Mumuni called on supporters to be committed to the party
to enable it win the elections.
