Listen to this articleAI narrationPlayback position0:002:421010Playback speed1×The dust has settled and the delegates of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 16 regions have elected executives to steer affairs of the party.

Although the elections were generally peaceful, there were challenges in a few regions. Mainly, the elections started late in some regions due to unforeseen circumstances.

At the end of it all, contestants for the various positions have known their fates. A key position that matters to most stakeholders is the Regional Chairman position.

Here are the victors in the sixteen regions:

1.       Eastern Region – Mark Oliver Kevor

2.       Greater Accra Region – Benjamin Danso

3.       Northern Region – Godfred Apasinaba Wumbei

4.       North East Region – Alhaji Abdul Rauf Tanko Ibrahim

The elections, held on November 13 and 14, formed part of the party's internal reorganisation ahead of its national executive elections scheduled for December 19, 2026, and its preparations for the 2028 general elections.

The Electoral Commission supervised the voting, while the Ghana Police Service led security arrangements. Proxy voting was barred, with all accredited delegates required to appear in person.

Delegates voted for the full Regional Executive Committee. In most regions this was 15 positions:

– Zongo Caucus Coordinator / Representative

The Youth and Women's Organiser positions were in some regions elected separately at Regional Youth and Women's Conferences held on Friday, November 13, ahead of the main conference. That is why some regions, such as Ashanti, reported only 11 positions at the main conference, with the Youth and Women's posts handled separately.

Delegates included constituency executive committee members, MPs from the region, former and serving ministers, MMDCEs, government appointees, ambassadors, members of the Council of Elders, and other party elders from the region. fca0
