Benjamin Danso has defeated incumbent Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore, in the party’s regional executive elections, bringing an end to his tenure as regional chairman. Mr Ashie Moore’s defeat comes despite his earlier confidence that delegates would renew his mandate in recognition of his performance and leadership of the party in the region.
Ahead of the polls on Saturday, November 14, the incumbent had expressed optimism about retaining his position, saying he was hopeful that delegates would reward his hard work with another term. However, the election results favoured Mr Danso, who secured the mandate to lead the NDC in the Greater Accra Region for the next four years.
Prior to the election, Mr Danso, who successfully passed the party’s vetting process, pledged to lead with integrity, dedication and a commitment to serving the party’s grassroots. He also outlined his vision of strengthening party unity and building a formidable organisational structure across all 34 constituencies in the region, with the ultimate goal of securing victory for the NDC in the 2028 general elections.
