The incumbent chairman Alhaji Iddrisu Sulemana, also called ‘Prof Kalamonia’, believes he is the right man to win more parliamentary seats for the party in the 2024 elections.

“I am a unifier and a youth person interested in the development of the human resource of our region and my reelection by the delegates will give the youth more opportunities,” he added.
