Talent a strategic national resource for development: Deputy PM

David Selassie Anthony, widely recognized as "De Accra Mayor" or "Dee Mayor," has announced his intention to run for the position of Deputy National Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). His campaign plan emphasizes grassroots mobilisation and enhanced coordination among constituency, regional, and national party structures.

Selassie Anthony's vision aims to bolster the party's grassroots foundation, boost member involvement, and drive supporters toward victory in the 2028 general elections. He believes that robust grassroots organisation will be crucial for the NDC's electoral preparations, asserting that tighter connections between party members and the national leadership can foster a more unified and inclusive political system.

A central pillar of his campaign is to empower constituency and regional organisers to play a more significant role in party mobilisation and decision-making, while ensuring that the opinions and contributions of local-level members receive greater recognition. His bid occurs as political parties commence preparing their structures and leadership for the upcoming general elections, with mobilisation, internal coordination, and ongoing engagement with supporters seen as vital factors.

Upon assuming office, Selassie Anthony's approach would aim to enhance collaboration across the party's organisational frameworks and provide more avenues for grassroots members to participate in party activities and contribute to national growth. His campaign is anticipated to be evaluated on the practical measures he plans to implement, such as how he will support local organisers, mobilise resources, and convert grassroots engagement into efficient party organisation.

Additional campaign details and specific proposals for the Deputy National Organiser role are anticipated to shed light on his strategy if he secures the position.
