Aspiring flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Prof. Joshua Alabi has taken his campaign to the Northern Region to convince delegates to elect him to lead the party into the 2020 elections.
He met with party executives, elders, opinion leaders and traditional authorities to firm up his support in the region ahead of the party’s presidential elections in December 2018.
Prof. Alabi and his team before arriving in the Northern Region made stops at the Akan, Nkwanta South and Nkwanta North constituencies in the Volta Region where he met with party supporters.
While in the Northern Region, he visited Wulensi, Bimbilla, Yendi, Zabzugu and Tatale-Sanguli constituencies.
He also visited and interacted with party officials in Saboba, Gushegu, Nanton, and Savelugu.
Prof. Alabi also paid courtesy calls on some traditional leaders and chiefs in the region including the Regent of Dagbon, Kampakuya-Naa, Yakubu Abdulai Andani, and the Paramount Chief of Mamprugu, Nayiri Naa Bohugu Mahami Abdulai.
The Sagnerigu Chief, Gukpe-Naa, Lamashegu Chief, Dakpema Chief, Kumbungu- Naa, Bunkpurugu Chief and the Chief of Yunyoo also welcomed him to their palaces.

At a town hall meeting with constituency and branch executives in the region, he shared with the party members plans of getting the NDC back into power in the 2020 elections.
