Thirty-one out of the 33 constituencies of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) are scheduled to elect new executives today, Saturday, October 24, 2026, as the party reorganises its grassroots structures ahead of the 2028 general elections.
The remaining two constituencies including Akwatia are expected to hold their conferences on Sunday, October 25.
Ahead of the election , an aspiring Eastern Regional Communications Officer of the NDC, Prince Henry, has called on delegates to elect hardworking and committed executives with proven records of dedication to the party.
He said strong constituency structures were essential to building a stronger NDC in the Eastern Region and improving the party’s electoral performance in the 2028 general elections.
The elections are expected to shape the party’s constituency-level leadership and influence its mobilisation efforts as it prepares for the next general elections.
Meanwhile , a former Eastern Regional Communications Officer of the NDC, Darlas Ampomah Williams, has cautioned delegates, particularly in the Kwahu area, against electing aspirants he alleges intend to use their positions to target Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs).
Speaking to the media in Nkawkaw, Mr Ampomah Williams said constituency executives must maintain cordial working relationships with government appointees to enable them to perform effectively and support President John Dramani Mahama’s development agenda.
“We want a peaceful atmosphere for MMDCEs to work. We don’t need people who want to become executives to fight MMDCEs,” he stated.
He alleged that some aspirants were seeking executive positions to hound government appointees and push them out of office, warning delegates against supporting candidates whose motivations, he claimed, were driven by personal interests and hostility.
According to him, MMDCEs require cooperation and peace of mind to discharge their responsibilities and implement government policies at the local level.
The comments come against the backdrop of historical tensions between party executives and government appointees in the Kwahu area.
In 2015, the then District Chief Executive for Kwahu South, Joseph Omari, pepper-sprayed party executives during a chaotic meeting reportedly triggered by prolonged disagreements.
Mr Ampomah Williams, who currently serves as Communications Director of the National Identification Authority (NIA), urged party members to ensure that such incidents are not repeated.
He said the constituency elections should strengthen the party’s grassroots structures and promote unity rather than create divisions that could undermine the work of government appointees.
