A huge win for the NPP, Oppong-Nkrumah is seen as one of several persons whose personality can give the NPP a solid footing ahead of the 2016 elections.
Campaign Manager for Kojo Oppong Nkruma told Kasapa FM the result is a true reflection of the choice of the delegates.
“We don’t vote on radio; we vote with delegates. We had a message… they bought into our campaign.”
