In his Facebook post, Dr. Prempeh expressed confidence in Ntim’s leadership capabilities and outlined key priorities for his new role.

He served as the National First Vice-Chairman of the party from 2001 to 2005 and has been an active and persistent figure within the party, contesting for the chairmanship position multiple times before finally being elected in 2022 on his fifth attempt.
Dr. Prempeh underscored that Ntim’s extensive experience and dedication to the party and the nation make him well-suited to steer the NPA towards achieving its objectives for the benefit of all Ghanaians.
