NDC Regional Executive Elections: Here is the list of new Regional Chairmen

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) recently concluded its regional executive elections, resulting in the election of new Regional Chairmen across the party's 16 regions. Despite some challenges and delays in certain regions, the elections proceeded smoothly overall, with all contestants for the positions aware of their outcomes.

The elections, held on November 13 and 14, were part of the NDC's internal reorganization ahead of its national executive elections scheduled for December 19, 2026, and preparations for the 2028 general elections. The Electoral Commission oversaw the voting process, while the Ghana Police Service ensured security. Proxy voting was prohibited, and all accredited delegates were required to attend in person.

The elections involved the selection of a full Regional Executive Committee, which typically consisted of 15 positions in most regions. In some cases, such as the Ashanti region, the Youth and Women's Organiser positions were elected separately at regional conferences held on November 13, leading to a total of 11 positions being elected at the main conference.
