Johnson Asiedu Nketia, the incumbent National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has decided against running for re-election in the upcoming national executive elections. This news has sparked speculation that he could be eyeing a higher political role ahead of the 2028 general election. The party's Director of Elections and IT, Mahdi Gibril, confirmed that Nketia had not submitted any nomination forms and had not indicated any intention to contest.
Despite not formally announcing his decision, Nketia's earlier statement in August 2026, where he emphatically replied "No, No, No!" when asked if he ruled out contesting the 2028 presidential election, has fueled speculation about his political ambitions. Nketia has been serving as the NDC National Chairman since December 2020 and previously held the position of General Secretary for several years.
The NDC has announced that 137 prospective aspirants have submitted nomination forms to contest 14 positions in the 2026 national executive elections. The elections are part of activities leading up to the NDC’s 11th National Delegates Congress, where the party will elect its national officers.
