The build-up to the National Circles Council (NCC) elections of Asante Kotoko has taken another twist as reports emerge that chairman Obeng Sekyere is seeking to be appointed as first vice chairman if chairman Solomon Ofosu-Ware emerges victorious.
Reacting to the development, Kotoko China Circle spokesman Martin Tawiah described the move as unnecessary, urging Obeng Sekyere to withdraw from the contest if he is no longer interested in leading the council.
“I’m hearing that chairman Obeng Sekyere has asked chairman Solo to appoint him as vice chairman if the latter wins.
What I’ll say is that, then he shouldn’t run for the chairmanship so that chairman Solo can go unopposed.
If he wants the first vice chairman role, then he should withdraw from the election,” Tawiah told MTV.
The much-anticipated NCC election, initially scheduled for earlier this month, has been rescheduled to August 28, 2025.
