The 5th-time contender for the NPP National Chairman position, Mr. Stephen Ntim, has just completed a one-month long national tour of the party.
This feat was achieved as a result of his ability to relentlessly follow through with his promise of touching base with the party folks, and observing the annual delegates’ conferences of all the 16 regions.
The tour started from 1st October, 2021 in the Savannah Region, and ended on 27th October, 2021 at Ejisu in the Ashanti Region, and he ensured, powered by his usual tenacity of purpose and physical endurance, that he would not miss any of these all-important annual regional delegates’ conferences. True to his commitment to get things done when he sets goals, Mr. Ntim was able to achieve that feat.
His tour attracted massive support from the delegates across board with the chant “Time Aso!! Time Aso!!”. The love and support displayed by the delegates and the party people was simply overwhelming. In a short message to the delegates after the conferences, he thanked them for their love and support.
Mr Stephen Ntim was born on 18 July, 1958, to Mr Augustine Ayesu Ntim of Nsuta-Appiakrom, Ashanti Region, and Madam Kate Asamoah from the Bono Region town of Wamfie, in the Dormaa East District.

He was also consequently appointed by Nana Addo as the National Cordinator for the Settler Communities Project during the 2016 national campaign which contributed to the massive increase in Parliamentary seats from the affected communities.
