Nana Kwasi Re-Elected Ashanti Regional NDC Chairman for Third Term

Augustus Nana Kwasi Andrews has been re-elected Ashanti Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), securing a third term after defeating challenger Isham Alhassan Yaw Bonsu.

In the party’s regional executive election on Saturday, November 14, 2026, Andrews received 814 votes, while Bonsu, the regional organizer, obtained 622 votes.

The figures were reported from results declared by Electoral Commission official Diana Osei Assibey, giving Andrews a winning margin of 192 votes.

Andrews, popularly known as Nana Kwasi, became emotional after the result was announced as supporters gathered to congratulate him. He has led the NDC in the region for approximately eight years.

During his campaign, Andrews pointed to the NDC’s improved parliamentary representation in the Ashanti Region as part of his record in office.

The party won three seats in 2016, increased its representation to four in 2020, and secured seven in the 2024 general election. Andrews and his supporters have credited the gains to the work of the regional and constituency leadership.

The Ashanti Region has traditionally been a stronghold of the opposition New Patriotic Party, making it an important area for the NDC as it prepares for the 2028 general elections.

Ahead of the vote, Andrews urged party members and candidates to remain united regardless of the outcome, saying the election should strengthen the NDC.

The Ashanti contest formed part of the party’s regional executive elections ahead of its national executive elections scheduled for December 19, 2026.
