The National Democratic Congress has retained Ing. Dr Mark Oliver Kevor as its Eastern Regional Chairman after the recent regional executive elections. The decision keeps experienced leadership in place as the party prepares to deepen its organisational work across the region.

Ahead of his re-election, Dr Kevor set out the central task he intends to pursue. He said his first priority would be to fortify the NDC’s structures in every constituency and branch, with the long-term aim of converting the Eastern Region into a solid base of support for the party.

“Our goal must be clear: to turn the Eastern Region green, constituency by constituency and branch by branch,” he stated.

He added that the methods he would apply would be informed by his previous collaboration with the late Dr Edward Omane Boamah. From that experience, Dr Kevor said he had come to appreciate the critical role of accurate data, organisational discipline, strategic thinking and meticulous attention to detail in contemporary political work.

These elements, he argued, are necessary if the party is to move beyond ad-hoc mobilisation and build lasting capacity at the grassroots.

Dr Kevor’s retention as regional chairman gives him the mandate to pursue this agenda.

Supporters expect that a sharper focus on structure, combined with the organisational lessons he has drawn from past experience, will help the NDC expand its influence and improve its electoral prospects in the Eastern Region over the coming political cycle.
