The camp of Alhaji Hudu Yahaya who is vying for the position of National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has said they are unperturbed by the open show of support by some national executives for incumbent chairman Dr Kwabena Adjei.
At the campaign launch for Dr. Kwabena Adjei on Wednesday, the General Secretary of party, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, subtly threw his weight behind Dr Kwabena Adjei, ahead of the party’s upcoming congress.

But the spokesperson for Alhaji Hudu Yahaya, Mutawakil Rawbil, said their message of “revival of the ideology” and the spirit of solidarity of the party has been widely accepted by the delegates, whose mandate it will be to elect the national chairman of the party at the party’s upcoming congress.
Mutawakil Rawbil told Citi News that the position of national chairman “is about call to service and dedication and duty and not about an individual and what he has done in the past.”.
Apart from the incumbent Dr. Kwabena Adjei, Hudu Yahaya would also have to deal with competition from Kofi Portuphy, National Coordinator of the National Disaster Management Organization, and Dan Kwasi Abodakpi, former Ghana’s Ambassador to Malaysia and former Member of Parliament for Keta.
