Delegates of the governing National Democratic Congress are voting today, Saturday, November 14, in the NDC regional elections to choose executives who will manage the party’s affairs for the next four years.
The exercise is taking place across all 16 regions as the party moves into the final stages of its internal reorganisation ahead of the national executive elections scheduled for December 19, 2026.
Voting runs from 7am to 5pm
The Electoral Commission is conducting the polls at designated centres, with voting scheduled between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Deputy Director of Elections and IT, Rashid Tanko Computer, said ahead of the exercise that election materials had been dispatched to the regions and national officers deployed to supervise proceedings.
“In terms of logistics, everything has been sent to the region. The Electoral Commission is handling the elections,” he said.
Security is being handled by the National Election Security Taskforce led by the Ghana Police Service.
Delegates are required to present either their NDC membership cards or Ghana Cards before voting. Proxy voting has been ruled out, meaning every delegate must be physically present to cast a ballot.
Regional contests draw attention
Positions being contested include regional chairman, secretary, organiser, treasurer, communications officer and other executive roles.
Several regional contests have attracted attention, including Greater Accra, where incumbent chairman Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore is seeking another term.
The regional polls follow constituency elections and the party’s Regional Youth and Women’s Conference held on Friday, November 13.
Those elected will take responsibility for coordinating party activities, strengthening constituency structures and organising the NDC at regional level ahead of the 2028 general elections.
The outcome will also shape the composition of the party’s regional leadership going into the December national executive elections.
