Godfred Apasinaba Wumbei, commonly known as Yellowman, has been elected as the Northern Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), receiving 328 votes. Alhaji Tanko Maida secured the second position with 236 votes, while Abdul-Hamid Alhassan Gbewaa garnered 27 votes.
Prior to the elections, Yellowman was accused of distributing 18 pickup trucks to various constituencies in the region, allegedly as an attempt to influence delegates ahead of the regional polls. The vehicles were reportedly handed out on the night of November 13, with one pickup truck allocated to each of the 18 constituencies in the Northern Region. According to sources from Citi News, this alleged distribution was intended to sway delegates in favor of Wumbei in the contest for regional chairmanship.
