Benjamin Danso has emerged victorious in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Greater Accra Regional executive elections, unseating incumbent Regional Chairman Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore.

Danso’s victory brings an end to Ashie Moore’s attempt to secure another four-year term as the party’s regional chairman, following a keenly contested election held on Saturday, November 14.

Ahead of the polls, Ashie Moore had expressed confidence in retaining his position, insisting that his performance, commitment and leadership of the party in the Greater Accra Region would earn him another mandate from delegates.

He had maintained that his hard work and efforts to strengthen the party’s structures would be recognised by members during the voting process.

However, the outcome of the election favoured Danso, who secured the confidence of delegates to take over the leadership of the NDC in the region for the next four years.

Before the election, Danso had successfully gone through the party’s vetting process and outlined his vision for strengthening the NDC’s organisational structures across Greater Accra.

He pledged to lead with service, integrity and commitment, stressing the need to build a united and formidable party capable of delivering electoral victories.

As part of his agenda, Danso promised to strengthen the party’s grassroots presence across all 34 constituencies in the Greater Accra Region.

He also emphasised the importance of unity, effective grassroots mobilisation and collaboration among party executives and supporters to improve the NDC’s electoral fortunes.

His victory is expected to usher in a new chapter in the party’s regional leadership as the NDC begins preparations towards the 2028 general elections, where it will seek to consolidate its political position and secure another electoral victory.
