Frank Amoakohene Bids Emotional Farewell as Ashanti NDC Regional Secretary

Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr Frank Amoakohene, has officially stepped down as the Ashanti Regional Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) following the completion of the party’s regional executive elections.

In a Facebook post announcing his departure, Dr Amoakohene described his time in office as one of the most significant privileges of his life, highlighting the political gains made by the NDC in the Ashanti Region under his leadership.

He noted that the party had strengthened its electoral position in the region, which has traditionally been considered a stronghold of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), despite the difficulties involved in expanding its support base.

According to him, the NDC increased its parliamentary seats in the region from four to seven, while also reducing the margin separating it from its opponents in several constituencies.

He further revealed that the party’s share of the presidential vote in the Ashanti Region rose from about 26.5 per cent in the 2020 general elections to more than 34 per cent in the 2024 polls.

Dr Amoakohene attributed the progress to the collective determination and commitment of party members, noting that the electoral improvements represented milestones that were once considered difficult to achieve.

He also identified the completion of the Ashanti Regional Party Secretariat as one of the notable accomplishments recorded during his administration.

The outgoing regional secretary acknowledged the efforts of previous party leaders and members who initiated the project, expressing appreciation for the opportunity to bring their vision to completion.

Dr Amoakohene also extended his gratitude to President John Dramani Mahama and the NDC’s national leadership for their support, direction and guidance throughout his tenure.

He maintained that the party’s achievements were the result of collective contributions rather than the efforts of any single individual.

He recognised the roles played by constituency executives, branch and ward officials, the women’s and youth wings, the Tertiary Education Institutions Network (TEIN), the Zongo Caucus, party elders, patrons and grassroots members.

He reserved special commendation for the party’s foot soldiers, whose dedication and organisational activities helped strengthen the NDC’s structures and political presence throughout the Ashanti Region.

With a new regional leadership set to take over, Dr Amoakohene called on constituency and regional executives who retained their positions to remain committed to the party’s objectives and cooperate with their newly elected colleagues.

He also encouraged those who failed to secure re-election, assuring them that their contributions and sacrifices would continue to form an important part of the party’s history and development.
