NDC Ashanti Regional Chairman urges members to uphold peace in Constituency Elections

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) commenced its constituency-level elections across all 276 constituencies on Saturday, October 24 and Sunday, October 25. Approximately 15,000 aspirants are expected to vie for various executive positions within the party's grassroots structures. These elections, part of the NDC's reorganization efforts ahead of the 2028 general elections, will determine new leadership for roles such as constituency chairman, secretary, treasurer, organiser, deputy organiser, communications officer, women’s organiser and youth organiser.

Despite a High Court injunction in Nkwanta North, Oti Region, restraining the party from conducting elections, the NDC insists the polls will proceed, stating their leadership has not been formally served with the injunction. The party's Acting Director of IT and Elections, Mahdi Jibrill, confirmed ongoing preparations, asserting no reason to halt the exercise as the High Court and General Secretary have not received formal notice of the injunction.

The polls, conducted by the Electoral Commission with the Ghana Police Service providing security, mark a crucial phase in the NDC’s internal reorganization, with the newly elected leaders set to bolster party mobilisation and organizational structures in anticipation of the 2028 general elections.
