In a statement after her defeat, she said her focus was now on ensuring the NDC was strong in the region.
“It is my fervent expectation that the Party bounces back with the needed full vim in the Region; and it will materialize,” Mrs. Attivor said.
“From September 1st that the winner was declared, we henceforth do not have Team Dzifa but Team NDC Volta. Let unity prevail and bind us together.”
She polled 371 votes while Mr. Gyapong won the election with 491 votes at the NDC’s just ended Regional elections held nationwide on Saturday, September 1, 2018.
Mrs. Attivor has since displayed grace in defeat describing the contest as “interesting.”
“I urge all my Supporters, well-wishers and non-supporters to rally their support behind Hon John Kwadwo Gyapong to succeed as a Party goes through to capture political power. I use this medium too to congratulate Hon John Kudjo Gyapong again for his victory. It has been an interesting competition.”
Former President Mahama has also stressed the need for unity following the elections.
“With our goal firmly fixed on victory in the 2020 elections, the NDC can only be better off if we come out of these elections across the ten regions united.”
He also urged the newly elected regional executives to rally all members of the party to enable it to win the 2020 general election.

POST ELECTION MESSAGE FROM HON DZIFA AKU ATTIVOR ON VOLTA REGIONAL CONFERENCE HELD ON SEPTEMBER 1ST, 2018
=================
Our beloved Party, NDC, by virtue of our Constitution lifted the ban on political activities at the Regional level and I deemed it fit to contest the Chairship.
I trekked across the length and breadth of Volta Region with my TEAM to sell our vision imbedded in the Manifesto to help revive the Party.
At the end of the tunnel the delegates decided by telling the incumbent to continue.
It is my fervent expectation that the Party bounces back with the needed full vim in the Region; and it will materialize.
I urge all my Supporters, well-wishers and non-supporters to rally their support behind Hon John Kwadwo Gyapong to succeed as a Party goes through to capture political power. I use this medium too to congratulate Hon John Kudjo Gyapong again for his victory. It has been an interesting competition.
I owe special gratitude to all those who encouraged and voted for me especially TEAM DZIFA and other Delegates.
From September 1st that the winner was declared, we henceforth do not have TEAM DZIFA but TEAM NDC VOLTA. Let unity prevail and bind us together.
God bless you all.
Eye Zu!
Eye Zaa!!

Hon Dzifa Attivor
