Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, Samuel Nartey George, says 15 of the 16 executive positions in the constituency’s National Democratic Congress (NDC) elections have gone unopposed, describing the development as a sign of unity among party members.
In a message to NDC delegates ahead of the constituency elections, Mr. George expressed gratitude for the decision to allow most positions to be filled without a contest.
“Tomorrow, (today) 16 elected positions were up for contest. You let 15 Executives go unopposed. That is a record. That is a statement.
That is unity of purpose,” he wrote.
He said the development would enable party members to focus their energies on a common goal rather than internal competition.
The MP also reaffirmed his commitment to serving the constituency, saying he did not take the responsibility lightly.
“I am blessed to represent you. I am honoured to serve you. I do not take this responsibility lightly,” he said.
Describing the exercise as an opportunity to strengthen relationships within the party, he added, “Tomorrow (today) is not a contest.
It is a family gathering. We are one: in mind, in spirit, in purpose. Once again, Ningo-Prampram stands out as a light set on a hill.”
The Ningo-Prampram exercise forms part of the NDC’s nationwide constituency executive elections scheduled for Saturday, October 24, and Sunday, October 25, 2026.
About 15,000 aspirants are expected to contest various positions across 276 constituencies as the governing party reorganises its structures ahead of the 2028 general election.
The elections are intended to determine the party’s grassroots leadership, with executives responsible for coordinating political and organisational activities at the constituency level.
NDC Deputy Director of Elections Mahdi Jibril said elections would not be held in Juabeso in the Western North Region and Banda in the Bono East Region because the candidates in those constituencies were going unopposed.
Ketu South in the Volta Region held its election on Friday, October 23, after the national party approved a change to avoid a clash with other activities.
The positions being contested nationwide include constituency chairman, vice-chairman, secretary, treasurer, organiser, deputy organiser, communications officer, women’s organiser and youth organiser, among others.
The Electoral Commission, working with the party’s election committees, is overseeing the exercise, while the Ghana Police Service is responsible for security.
The process is expected to renew the NDC’s leadership structures from the grassroots to the national level as it prepares for the 2028 general election.
