The TESCON Patron of UDS, Nyankpala Campus and Communications Team Member of the NPP in the Northern Region, Dr. Abdul Karim Abdul Rahaman Kpala, has declared his intention to vie for the Northern Regional Secretary Position when nomination is opened by the party for the regional Executive elections.
Dr. Abdul Karim made the intention known in his opening remarks on Sagani TV’s Weekend flagship programme dubbed “Dakulo Dagbana” in response to a question posed by the host about a grapevine linking him to the secretary position.
While responding to the question, the Lecturer of UDS emphatically expressed interest in the position when the time is due for the contest, even though he is still at the consultation stage with stakeholders, including elders of the party.
His declaration has confirmed a long-standing rumor that has been circulated around in private discussions and social media, especially within the fold of the NPP, alleging his ambition.
Dr. Abdul Karim Abdul Rahaman is an astute communicator of the New Patriotic Party in the Northern region, defending the party at all levels with his time and energy. He focuses his communication on fact-driven data through careful and thoughtful research, making him a great mind to dismiss his assertion on political discourse at go.
Over the years, he has also proven to be a tough communicator, bullying opponents on the other political divide he shares a platform with, leaving him as one of the few members of the communication team in the region espousing superior views with finesse even in opposition.
He is also an outspoken communicator, known for his bravery and tenacity, commenting on vexed matters as an independent mind differing from his party’s point of view in some instances.
