Alfred Agbesi Woyome files nomination for NDC National Vice Chairperson

Businessman and National Democratic Congress (NDC) member Alfred Agbesi Woyome has officially submitted his nomination to contest the position of National Vice Chairperson. The nomination was filed on his behalf by Dr. Catherine Deynu, the former Deputy National Women’s Organiser, ahead of the party's National Delegates Congress. The election is scheduled to take place on December 19, 2026, as part of the party’s internal reorganisation following the 2024 general elections.

Woyome’s candidacy is centered on a vision to strengthen the NDC’s organizational structures and empower its grassroots members. According to Dr. Deynu, the businessman aims to leverage his experience to enhance the party’s electoral capacity and ensure it remains a formidable force in the lead-up to the 2028 general elections. His campaign emphasizes the need for a leadership that is deeply connected to the party's base and capable of mobilizing support across all levels of the organization.

In addition to organizational reform, Woyome is advocating for sustainable job creation initiatives within the party's framework. This strategic focus is intended to provide economic stability for party members while simultaneously building a more robust machinery for future campaigns. Supporters of his bid highlight his long-standing contributions to the NDC as a key factor that qualifies him for one of the party’s top executive roles.

The upcoming National Delegates Congress will be a pivotal moment for the NDC as it seeks to solidify its leadership team under the presidency of John Mahama. With the 2028 elections on the horizon, the selection of national executives will determine the strategic direction of the party’s administration and its ability to maintain political momentum. Woyome’s entry into the race for National Vice Chairperson is expected to be a significant highlight of the internal contest.
