Comrade Adnan M. Kofi Adams, a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) with more than 18 years of involvement in the party, has officially filed his nomination to contest for a seat on the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC).
Mr. Adams submitted his nomination forms, political résumé and other credentials to the National Elections Committee at the NDC national headquarters, the J.J. Rawlings House.
He was accompanied by supporters, media professionals and grassroots organisers.
His campaign says his decision to contest is aimed at strengthening grassroots mobilisation, improving the party’s communication machinery and promoting organisational discipline.
Speaking to journalists after filing his nomination, Mr. Adams said his years of involvement in the party had given him the experience and understanding needed to contribute to its national organisational development.
“It is with profound humility, unyielding loyalty, and a strong sense of revolutionary duty that I step forward to serve on the National Executive Committee,” he said.
He added that his experience at the branch and constituency levels had shaped his understanding of the party’s grassroots structures and the importance of connecting national communication strategies with local mobilisation.
“Having served from the branch level up, I understand the resilience of our grassroots and the transformative power of our party’s social democratic ideology.
My mission is to build a robust, technologically responsive, and grassroots-centred NDC that bridges national strategic communications with branch-level mobilisation,” he stated.
Mr. Adams’ political career within the NDC spans more than 18 years.
He began in 2007 as a Branch Propaganda Secretary before becoming Branch Secretary in 2009.
Between 2014 and 2018, he served as Constituency Deputy Communications Officer and was also a member of the NDC National Communications Team from 2008 to 2017.
Outside party politics, he is a media proprietor and executive manager, with an academic background in diplomacy and international law.
He believes his political and professional experience would help strengthen the party’s public communication, defend its image and promote policy-oriented political engagement.
Outlining his vision for the NEC position, Mr. Adams identified grassroots empowerment, proactive media engagement, institutional discipline and policy research as the four pillars of his campaign.
He said the NDC needed stronger communication structures to respond effectively to criticism from political opponents while ensuring that the party’s policies and achievements were properly communicated to the public.
“Our campaign is anchored on four non-negotiable pillars designed to secure decisive electoral victory: grassroots empowerment, media dominance through proactive communications, institutional discipline, and data-backed policy research,” he said.
He pledged to support branch and constituency executives with resources, modern communication tools and political education to improve their effectiveness.
Mr. Adams also called for stronger internal dispute-resolution mechanisms to promote unity across the party’s structures, including the Youth Wing, Women’s Wing, Zongo Caucus and external branches.
On policy development, he said the party must draw on economic data and international relations expertise to develop practical proposals that address the concerns of young people, working-class families and Civil Society Organisations.
He further advocated the use of digital media technologies and data-driven communication to project the party’s policies and respond to what he described as opposition propaganda.
Reaffirming his commitment to the NDC’s social democratic ideals, Mr. Adams appealed to delegates and party stakeholders to support a leadership approach based on integrity, accessibility and organisational excellence.
“I pledge my uncompromising loyalty to the social democratic principles of the NDC. I call on all delegates, party leaders, and comrades nationwide and in our external branches to unite behind a vision centred on integrity, accessible leadership, and organisational excellence,” he said.
Following the filing of his nomination, Mr. Adams is expected to embark on a nationwide constituency tour to engage delegates and other campaign stakeholders ahead of the party’s national congress.
