The list of all the qualifying candidates running for national executive seats in the next December 17, 2022 congress has been made public by the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
There are already 81 candidates who are eligible to run in the Accra elections that will take place later this month.
The Chairman, Vice-Chairman, General Secretary and Deputy General Secretary, Youth Organizer, and Women’s Organizer are among the 14 positions up for grabs in the national election.
The remaining individuals are members of the National Executive Committee, the Women’s Organiser, the Deputy Women’s Organiser, the Youth Organiser, the Zongo Caucus Coordinator, and the Youth Organiser.
The Chairman, General Secretary, National Organiser, Women’s Organiser, and Youth Organiser are the main posts that will be fiercely fought.
Four party stalwarts would compete for the role of national chairman in that election.
They include Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, the current National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, the current General Secretary, Nii Armah Ashitey, the current Greater Accra Regional Minister, and Samuel Yaw Adusei, the current Deputy Minister of Works and Housing.
The current Director of Elections, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah; a former Minister and MP for Ketu South, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey; and the current Deputy General Secretary, Dr. Peter Boamah Otokunor, will compete for the job of General Secretary.
There are four candidates running for the job of National Organiser.
They are Joshua Hamidu Akamba, Joseph Yamin, Sidii Abubakar Musah, Solomon Yaw Nkansah, and Sidii Abubakar Musah.
Apart from the incumbent, Sammy Gyamfi, no one else submitted a petition to challenge his or her position as communication officer.
