NPP North East Regional Secretary enters chairmanship race in upcoming internal elections

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the North East Region is gearing up for internal elections.

Current Regional Secretary, Sulley Sambian, has announced his candidacy for Regional Chairmanship.

This sets the stage for a tense showdown with incumbent Chairman Nurudeen Fuseini.

Fuseini is seeking a third term in office and faces criticism.

The contest is expected to be closely watched within the party.

Sambian confirmed his bid in an interview with JoyNews’ regional correspondent.

He aims to bring unity, accountability, and energy to the party base.

Sambian previously served as CEO of the Northern Development Authority.

Chairman Nurudeen has held his position since 2018.

He is credited with strengthening party structures in the region.

Under his leadership, NPP secured wins in Walewale and Nalerigu/Gambaga.

However, some party members criticize his leadership style.

Insiders say this race will test NPP's fragile unity in the North East.

Both candidates have loyal grassroots and executive support.

JoyNews reports that the outcome could impact the party’s strength before 2028 elections.

One supporter stated, “We want competent people leading our party.”

They added they won’t accept “Slay Queens and Kings” as executives.

This election reflects broader battles over leadership and loyalty within the NPP.
