Daniel Baah Acheamfour Replaces Dr Frank Amoakohene as NDC Ashanti Regional Secretary

Daniel Baah Acheamfour has been elected Regional Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ashanti Region. He replaces Dr Frank Amoakohene, who held the position before his appointment as Regional Minister.

The Asante Regional Minister, Dr Frank Amoakohene, announced the news on his official Facebook page on Saturday, November 14, 2026. He wrote, “Regional Secretary Elect! Congratulations to Cmd Daniel Baah Acheamfour! Serve well into victory 2028.”

The party held its Regional Youth, Women and Main Regional Conferences in Kumasi on November 13 and 14, 2026. The Regional Secretary position attracted three aspirants. Mr Acheamfour contested on the ballot as candidate number two, under the campaign tagline “The Strategist.”

Mr Acheamfour is no stranger to the party’s regional leadership. He was elected Deputy Regional Secretary in 2022, when Dr Amoakohene won the secretary position. Since then, he has been a visible voice for the party in the region. He has addressed the media, represented the party at public events, and encouraged members to work harder to win more seats in the Ashanti Region.

Dr Amoakohene held the Regional Secretary position until President John Dramani Mahama appointed him Regional Minister. His message to Mr Acheamfour shows a smooth handover and a shared goal for the party.

The phrase “victory 2028” in the minister’s post refers to the NDC’s hope of winning the next general election. The party sees the Ashanti Region as important to that goal. Party leaders have long said that even a small improvement in the region could change the national result.

Mr Acheamfour now takes on the task of managing the party’s day-to-day work in the region. His duties will include organising branches, supporting constituency executives and preparing members for the next election.

Many party members have congratulated him on his victory. They expect his experience as deputy secretary to help him lead the Ashanti NDC with confidence.
