No Elections in Juaboso Constituency – Hon. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh details why

In an Official Facebook Post on 25 October 2026, the Member of Parliament for Juaboso and Minister for Health, Hon. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, announced a historic outcome in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) constituency executive elections within his jurisdiction. Akandoh revealed that no voting took place in Juaboso because all candidates vying for the 24 constituency executive positions ran unopposed, marking a rare milestone of internal consensus and political cohesion.

Expressing deep pride in the solidarity displayed by party members and local delegates, Akandoh celebrated the political feat as an unprecedented record for the constituency. Posting under the declaration, “No Elections in Juaboso – Hon. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh details why,” the veteran lawmaker highlighted how internal unity has strengthened the governing party’s grassroots structure in the Western North Region.

Akandoh stated: “A record! All contestants for the 24 constituency executive positions went unopposed, thus no constituency elections. Our resolve to keep the NDC in power and deliver development to the people of Ghana remains unwavering. Congratulations to my indefatigable constituency executives. Together, let us build on this unity and work tirelessly for our people. Juaboso remains forever green!”

The announcement comes amidst nationwide constituency executive elections within the ruling National Democratic Congress, as the party reorganizes its local structures across all 275 constituencies. While internal party elections in several districts have seen intense competition, contentious vetting processes, and factional rivalries, the Juaboso constituency managed to negotiate consensus slates for every executive portfolio, ranging from Chairman and Secretary to Youth and Women’s Organizers.

Observers note that securing an entirely unopposed executive slate reflects Kwabena Mintah Akandoh’s firm political control and leadership influence within Juaboso. As a long-serving lawmaker and key figure in the Mahama administration, Akandoh has successfully maintained a cohesive constituency machinery, neutralizing potential internal disputes and focusing local party energy entirely on governance and grassroots mobilization.

At its core, Akandoh’s message underscores the strategic importance of party unity in sustaining electoral dominance. By resolving internal ambitions through dialogue and consensus rather than divisive ballot contests, the Juaboso NDC leadership aims to present a united front capable of executing development projects and retaining parliamentary and presidential support in future national elections.

The Facebook post has drawn enthusiastic reactions from NDC activists, political commentators, and Juaboso constituents. Party loyalists praised the executive team and the MP for setting a benchmark of internal harmony, arguing that avoiding heated primary contests preserves party resources and prevents post-election animosity. Conversely, political analysts observed that while consensus candidacies demonstrate strong local alignment, maintaining open democratic avenues remains vital for long-term party engagement. Regardless of perspective, the seamless transition in Juaboso has been hailed as a major political triumph for Akandoh and the NDC’s regional organization.
