Dzifa Tegah, currently serving as the Deputy National Women’s Organiser for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has officially announced her intention to run for the position of Deputy General Secretary. Speaking at the party’s headquarters, Tegah outlined a vision centered on strengthening the party's grassroots structures and enhancing administrative efficiency. This move marks a significant transition in her political career as she seeks to elevate her influence within the national secretariat ahead of the 2028 general elections.

During her campaign launch, Tegah highlighted her achievements in her current role, specifically noting her success in making the NDC’s women’s wing more attractive to younger women. She emphasized that her experience in mobilization and party organization would be instrumental in her new pursuit. Her primary objective is to bridge the communication gap between the national leadership and the party’s base, ensuring that every member feels included in the party's decision-making processes through a more inclusive leadership style.

Looking toward the future, Tegah stressed the importance of a well-organized secretariat to ensure victory in the 2028 general elections.

Tegah’s entry into the race for Deputy General Secretary adds to a competitive field of candidates vying for key administrative roles. As she begins her campaign, she has urged party delegates to evaluate her based on her proven track record in the women's wing and her strategic vision for the party’s organizational growth and long-term success.
