Benjamin Danso unseats Ashie Moore as NDC Greater Accra Regional Chairman

Benjamin Danso has been elected the new Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), defeating incumbent Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore in the party’s regional executive elections on Saturday, November 14, 2026.

The result ends Mr Ashie Moore’s time in the post, which began in November 2022 when he beat then-chairman Joseph Ade Coker. He had held the position for almost four years and was seeking another term.

Ahead of the vote, he said he was confident delegates would keep him in office, citing his work and his leadership of the party in the region.

“I’m very confident the delegates today will reward hard work,” he said in an interview before the election.

The delegates chose Mr Danso instead, giving him the job of leading the party in Greater Accra for the next four years.

During his campaign, Mr Danso pledged to lead with service, integrity and commitment to the party’s grassroots. He also set out plans to strengthen party structures in all 34 constituencies in the region and build a united front to help the NDC win the 2028 general elections.

Mr Danso was NDC Constituency Chairman for Krowor in Greater Accra. In June 2023, he was elected chairman of the Greater Accra NDC Constituency Chairmen’s Association, a caucus of constituency chairpersons across the region. The role gave him experience coordinating and engaging party leaders beyond his own constituency.
