Nana Kojo Toku, the incumbent Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Western Region, conveyed confidence ahead of the upcoming party delegates' elections. He assured journalists that delegates have seen his accomplishments and will determine whether he deserves to retain his position. Displaying a lack of apprehension, Toku expressed his belief that his constituents will recognize his contributions and support him.
He firmly stated his commitment to respect the outcome of the democratic process and hoped that his fellow delegates would endorse his continued leadership to complete the vision he has initiated.
Toku dismissed allegations of betrayal, emphasizing that every party member has the right to challenge for any position. He reiterated that the delegates are discerning enough to make their own decisions. The incumbent also denied any involvement in discouraging a rival contender from contesting, stating he had never communicated with the challenger or anyone else initiating a bid for the chairmanship.
Toku recounted a previous encounter with the challenger, who had sought to join his political camp due to dissatisfaction with his previous political engagements. He welcomed the approach but stressed that everyone should have the freedom to independently decide on participation in the election.
The election at Ellembelle, Western Region, involves 573 delegates, MPs, and District Chief Executives participating to elect regional party officials. Toku, who led the NDC to secure 15 of the 17 parliamentary seats in the Western Region during the 2024 general elections, seeks re-election based on his argument that his leadership has allowed the party to consolidate its gains and pursue additional parliamentary seats.
As voting begins, he remains confident that the delegates and God will evaluate his record, ultimately deciding his continued regional chairmanship.
