About 15,000 aspirants set for executive NDC positions across all constituencies

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) is moving forward with its constituency executive elections across all 276 constituencies, despite a court injunction that halted the polls in Nkwanta North, located in the Oti Region. Acting Director of IT and Elections for the NDC, Mahdi Jibrill, confirmed that preparations for the elections in Nkwanta North are still ongoing, as the party has not been formally served with the court order.

Jibrill stated that the elections will proceed as scheduled, with no injunction currently in force against the party. The High Court in Dambai had issued an interlocutory injunction, which also barred the party from using a register of branch executives compiled after recent elections in June and July 2026. The nationwide constituency executive elections are set to take place on Saturday, October 24, and Sunday, October 25, as part of the party's reorganization efforts ahead of the 2028 general elections.

It is estimated that about 15,000 aspirants will be vying for various executive positions within the NDC's constituency structures, including roles such as constituency chairman, vice-chairman, secretary, treasurer, and various specialized positions like organiser, deputy organiser, and communications officer, among others. These elected officials will be tasked with managing party activities, engaging with local members, and implementing the party's initiatives at the grassroots level.

The elections are being coordinated by the Electoral Commission in partnership with the party's election committees at the constituency level, and security for the voting process is being provided by the Ghana Police Service.
