Paul Yandoh has placed third in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Ashanti Regional Secretary contest after moving from his previous role as Regional Communications Officer to contest the position.
Yandoh polled 105 votes in the contest. Francis Adomako won the race with 492 votes, while Michael Amoah Awuku placed second with 331 votes.
Yandoh’s candidacy attracted attention in the build-up to the election, particularly after Ashanti Regional Minister Dr Frank Amoakohene, a member of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), publicly endorsed and campaigned for him on social media.
The cross-party show of support generated interest in the contest and Yandoh’s prospects among NPP delegates.
However, the results saw Adomako emerge as the clear winner, with Yandoh securing 105 of the valid votes cast.
Yandoh’s defeat rules him out of the new Ashanti Regional executive team, having opted to leave the Communications Officer position he previously held to contest the secretaryship.
The election forms part of the NPP’s reorganisation as the party seeks to strengthen its structures in the Ashanti Region and prepare for the 2028 general elections.
