  "summary": "Daniel Niibi Afotey Odai has been elected as the Deputy Regional Youth Organiser for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Greater Accra Region. Niibi secured 45 votes in the party’s regional executive elections held on Saturday, November 14, 2026, narrowly defeating his closest challenger Atsu Eric Afeme, who received 44 votes. This election is part of the NDC’s internal reorganisation ahead of the 2028 general elections. Prior to this role, Niibi served as Deputy Youth Organiser for the Krowor Constituency for eight years, where he was involved in youth mobilisation and party structures. He holds a degree in Political Science from the University of Ghana and is a Chartered Manager. Niibi’s campaign focused on the message, “Youth in Politics: From Spectators to Decision Makers,” and proposed several initiatives including establishing a Greater Accra Youth Secretariat, creating a database of young party members, and introducing a welfare scheme for young party members. As Deputy Regional Youth Organiser, Niibi will collaborate with regional leadership to enhance youth mobilisation and strengthen the NDC’s structures in Greater Accra.",
