The Eastern Regional Executive Election for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has taken a new twist as two people vying for the position of 2nd Vice Chairman and Treasurer have stepped down from the race.
The two, Nana Oteng Akuffo Akoto and Opoku Peter Dacosta, who had successfully gone through vetting, stepped down for reasons not readily known.
This leaves Frank Appiah, Paul Amaning, and Micheal Oteng Adu as the main contenders for the 2nd Vice Chairmanship slot, with Bernard Kumi Larbi going unopposed for the position of regional treasurer.
