Popular Ghanaian Pastor Enters NDC Constituency Chairmanship Race

Popular Ghanaian pastor and businessman Reverend Dr Nana Agyeman Abbeam Danso has declared his intention to contest the National Democratic Congress (NDC) constituency chairmanship position in Domeabra Obom ahead of the party’s upcoming internal elections.

He announced his decision on Saturday, October 10, 2026, in a video shared by Ghanaian blogger King Larry News on TikTok. The announcement has attracted attention because of his religious background, business interests and growing involvement in party politics.

The video, filmed in an interview-style setting, featured NDC and Abbeam-branded logos, alongside a prominent portrait of President John Dramani Mahama hanging in the background. The setting reflected the political nature of his declaration.

Rev Dr Abbeam Danso’s decision to contest the position signals his interest in taking up a leadership role within the NDC at the constituency level. However, details about his campaign promises and plans for the constituency have not been outlined in the information available.

Footage showing former Finance Minister and prominent NDC figure Kwabena Duffour endorsing Abbeam Danso has also emerged alongside the announcement. The former minister was seen in a brief outdoor handshake scene, adding a notable political dimension to the development.

Duffour’s endorsement is particularly significant given his experience in government and longstanding association with the NDC. His appearance alongside the aspiring constituency chairman could attract further interest as party members prepare for the internal elections.

The Domeabra Obom constituency chairmanship contest is expected to be an important process for determining the party’s local leadership. Constituency executives play a role in organising party activities, mobilising supporters and coordinating grassroots political efforts.

For Abbeam Danso, the contest presents an opportunity to translate his public profile into a formal leadership position within the governing party. His performance in the internal elections will ultimately depend on the support he receives from eligible party delegates and members.

His announcement also highlights the participation of individuals from different professional backgrounds in Ghanaian party politics. Religious leaders, businesspeople and other public figures have increasingly featured in political discussions, although their success in party elections depends on several factors.

Neither the announcement nor the footage of Duffour’s endorsement establishes that Abbeam Danso has secured the position. He remains an aspirant until the party’s internal electoral process determines the winner.

Attention will now turn to the campaign, the response from constituency members and any further statements outlining his priorities. The outcome of the Domeabra Obom contest will determine whether the popular pastor and businessman can secure the NDC constituency chairmanship.
