Eric Obuaba has announced his bid for a seat on the National Democratic Congress’s National Executive Committee, pledging to strengthen grassroots participation, internal communication and coordination across the party’s structures.
Drawing on years of grassroots party work, research, organising and parliamentary campaign support, Obuaba said his decision was informed by his experience at every level of the NDC and his belief that the national leadership must stay closely linked to local branches.
He highlighted his background as a research assistant to a Member of Parliament and described his journey “from branch and constituency activities to regional communication, parliamentary campaign support, research, and organising.”
Obuaba stressed that the branch and constituency structures are the foundation of the party and called for greater engagement between national leaders and grassroots members. “It is therefore important for the national leadership to remain connected to the grassroots, listen to their concerns, and ensure that their experiences and ideas contribute meaningfully to the Party’s decision‑making processes,” he said.
His proposed agenda centres on improving communication and collaboration among branches, constituencies, regions and the national leadership, while also leveraging technology to streamline internal operations, manage information and engage members more effectively.
He added that his ambition to serve on the National Executive Committee is driven by a commitment to sustained party organisation rather than a single electoral contest. “Building and maintaining a strong Party requires continuous engagement, effective coordination, listening, teamwork, and a genuine commitment to the people who constitute our Party,” he said.
Obuaba concluded by emphasizing that the NDC’s strength lies in its people, structures, unity and collective effort toward a common purpose. His declaration adds another contender to the race for the party’s top decision‑making body, with priorities centred on grassroots participation, internal communication, party unity, inclusive leadership and technology adoption.
