Mustapha Gbande, Joseph Yammin file nominations to retain NDC positions

Mustapha Gbande, the Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), and Joseph Yammin, the National Organiser, have submitted their names to run for re-election in the upcoming NDC National Executive Elections on December 19. Both men are vying to maintain their positions on the NDC's National Executive Board as the party gears up for the internal elections.

At the inaugural Campaign Trail event, organized by the NDC's Elections Directorate, Gbande and Yammin articulated their reasons for seeking another term. Gbande highlighted the accomplishments of President John Mahama's administration since regaining power in 2025, while also criticizing the previous Akufo-Addo government. He praised the NDC government's progress across various sectors and expressed pride in having contributed to the party's return to power.

The press conference afforded both contenders a platform to persuade party members of their suitability for re-election, as they aim to preserve their roles within the party's national leadership. The December 19 elections are anticipated to shape the makeup of the NDC's National Executive Board as the party undergoes internal reorganization.
