David Selassie Anthony declares bid for NDC Deputy National Organiser

DeAccra Mayor, David Selassie Anthony, has announced his intention to compete for the position of Deputy National Organiser within the National Democratic Congress (NDC). His campaign aims to bolster grassroots mobilisation and grant constituency and regional organisers a more significant role in the party’s efforts. Anthony has consulted with party members, organisers, and supporters across various regions to validate his stance.

He believes that the party's strength lies in its grassroots structures, rather than at the top levels. If elected, he intends to make constituency and regional organising structures more effective, with specific duties, regular communication, and a clear channel for their feedback to reach national leadership. The welfare of party organisers is a priority for Anthony, who argues that individuals dedicating their time to the party between elections deserve more recognition.

He emphasizes that the upcoming 2028 elections necessitate consistent organisation and heightened participation at the local level. Anthony, a former National Communications Team member, has held various NDC positions, including Branch Communications Officer, Constituency Executive, and a member of the National Communications Team.

He has also been the Personal Assistant to the party's National Communications Officer for eight years. A building engineer, farmer, and politician, Anthony is the founder of the De Mayor Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to humanitarian services.
