Private legal practitioner Ohene-Essel Etur Kwasi has announced his intention to run for the position of Bono Region Secretary in the National Democratic Congress (NDC). His announcement comes ahead of the party's upcoming regional executive elections, scheduled for November 14 and 15, 2026. Mr. Ohene-Essel's primary goal is to strengthen the party's grassroots structures and constituencies in preparation for the 2028 general elections.
He aims to ensure the party retains its 11 parliamentary seats in the Bono Region and also seeks to reclaim the Jaman South Constituency, which was won by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2024 general elections. With experience serving on the Bono Regional Disciplinary Committee since 2021, as Acting Legal Director in 2025, and as Secretary of the Bono Legal Team, Mr. Ohene-Essel is well-versed in the party's operations.
He holds an LLB from Mountcrest University College, a Qualifying Certificate of Law from the Ghana School of Law, and a BSc in Computer Science from the Catholic University. As the current Bono Regional Secretary is not expected to run for re-election, Mr. Ohene-Essel faces stiff competition from other potential contenders, including at least two other individuals who may also enter the race.
