Ing. Dr. Mark-Oliver Kevor has been re-elected as Eastern Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), securing another four-year term following Saturday’s regional executive elections.
Dr. Kevor retained the position after contesting against former regional chairman Bismark Tawiah Boateng and party stalwart David Dakudzi.
His re-election extends his leadership of the party in the Eastern Region as the NDC undertakes a nationwide reorganisation ahead of the 2028 general elections.
Dr. Kevor has been involved in the NDC’s internal structures for several years, having served as a Branch Secretary, Constituency Youth Organiser and twice as Eastern Regional Secretary before contesting for the regional chairmanship in 2022.
He won the chairmanship in November 2022, polling 353 votes to defeat four other contenders, including the then-incumbent John Owusu Amankrah and former regional chairman Bismark Tawiah Boateng.
Beyond politics, Dr. Kevor has an academic background in information systems and electrical and electronic engineering. He holds a PhD in Information Systems from the University of Ghana Business School and has served as a senior lecturer at the Presbyterian University College, Ghana.
During his latest campaign, Dr. Kevor outlined plans to strengthen the party’s presence across the region and position it as a major political force.
“Our goal must be clear: to turn the Eastern Region green, constituency by constituency and branch by branch,” he stated.
He also defended his record, arguing that his leadership had contributed to the NDC’s improved electoral performance in the region during the 2024 general elections.
Dr. Kevor further stressed the importance of strategic planning, discipline and data-driven approaches to grassroots mobilisation.
