Dr Divine Kabutey Agyemang-Lardey was recently chosen as the Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Sege Constituency of the Greater Accra Region. This victory came after he narrowly beat his rival, Prosper Teye Akortia, in the party's internal elections, held on Saturday, October 24, 2026.

Dr Agyemang-Lardey urged party members to put the election behind them and work together to strengthen the party's structures in anticipation of future challenges.

He further acknowledged his opponent, Mr Akortia, and encouraged supporters of both candidates to show reconciliation, mutual respect, and cooperation for the betterment of the NDC.

During his campaign, Dr Agyemang-Lardey proposed several initiatives, including a revolving seed fund of GH¢50,000, an opportunities hub, and mentorship programs designed to create more opportunities for party members.

As he prepares for his new role, Dr Agyemang-Lardey reiterated the importance of an inclusive party organization, where every member feels valued, irrespective of their choice during the elections. He called for a shift from competition to collective responsibility, urging members to unite behind the newly elected leadership to advance the party's interests in the Sege Constituency.
