The incoming regional executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Greater Accra have been urged to preserve the party’s unity and build on the organisational and electoral gains recorded over the past four years.
Regional Secretary Theophilus Tetteh Chai made the appeal at the Greater Accra Regional Conference, where delegates are electing executives to lead the party’s regional structures.
He said the progress achieved between November 2022 and November 2026 would require continued discipline, determination and hard work from those taking over the regional leadership.
“The achievements we have chalked must be sustained. This will require discipline, determination and hard work from the executives we elect at today’s conference,” he said.
Mr. Chai also urged delegates to consider the party’s unity and future organisational needs in making their choices.
“We trust our delegates to make choices that will protect the unity of the Party and build on the progress made,” he added.
The outgoing Regional Secretary said the committee had pursued several initiatives to strengthen the party, including reconciliation efforts, consultation and cooperation among stakeholders.
Its activities also covered training for branch and constituency executives, youth and women’s empowerment programmes, community engagement, election director training and fundraising for the 2024 general election campaign.
The committee also acknowledged the contributions of party elders, Members of Parliament, MMDCEs, national executives and other supporters to its work.
Mr. Chai singled out Dr Valerie Sawyer for financing the region’s presidential and parliamentary election activities in 2024.
He also commended the party’s foot soldiers, communicators and workers at constituency offices and the regional party office, describing their dedication and sacrifices as central to the committee’s work.
The outgoing leadership’s report also pointed to the NDC’s improved parliamentary performance in Greater Accra, where the party increased its representation from 20 seats to 29 in the 2024 elections.
The regional conference is part of the NDC’s internal electoral process ahead of its national congress scheduled for December 19, 2026, as the party works to strengthen its structures ahead of the 2028 general elections.
