Former MP Eyes NDC WR Chairmanship

George Kofi Arthur, a three-term Member of Parliament for Amenfi Central, is confident he will emerge victorious in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Western Regional executive elections scheduled for the upcoming Saturday. The former MP, who served from 2005 to 2017, is set to bring about a transformative change in the party's organizational structures within the region.

Speaking to journalists, Arthur emphasized his vision of creating a unified, inclusive, accountable, and sustainable party organization that can deliver collective political success. He outlined his plan to build this organization by fostering unity, discipline, technological advancements, and grassroots empowerment. According to Arthur, the Western Region NDC needs a leader who can enhance the party's ability to address the needs of its members.

He also stressed the significance of strengthening grassroots structures through leadership training, mentorship, administrative development, and capacity-building programs for constituency and branch executives. Furthermore, Arthur announced plans to establish a Regional Research and Policy Unit, alongside leveraging digital systems to streamline membership administration.

"I will take the party from addition to multiplication through unity, inclusion, and collective progress," he stated, highlighting his broader objective of evolving the NDC organization in the Western Region from mere electoral mobilization toward sustained institutional development. Throughout his political career, Arthur made a significant mark as an MP, serving for three consecutive terms from 2005 to 2017.

During this tenure, he chaired the Select Committee on Defence and Interior, which focused on national security, defense policy, internal security, and oversight of relevant ministries and agencies.
