As the National Democratic Congress prepares to elect its regional executives on Saturday and Sunday, former Deputy Ashanti Regional Youth Organiser Onasis Kobby Rosely has declared his support for the incumbent Chairman, Augustus Nana Kwasi Andrews, known as Nana Akwasi.
In a social media post, Kobby, who also serves as Deputy Chief Executive Officer in charge of Operations and Technical at the Petroleum Hub Development Corporation, praised Nana Akwasi as the ideal candidate to lead the party in the Ashanti Region, which delivered its second‑highest vote count in the 2024 elections.
Kobby recounted working experiences with Nana Kwasi, detailing near‑death incidents and property sell‑offs the chairman undertook to secure the NDC’s success in the region. He highlighted the chairman’s dedication, innovation, loyalty and rewards for dedicated members, arguing that an endorsement would be key to sustaining the party’s growth.
“I worked closely with Chairman Nana Akwasi and had the honour of driving with him for a year in the lead‑up to the 2020 elections. I witnessed first‑hand the sacrifices he made,” Kobby said. He described a vehicle incident at Nkawkaw bypass and a near‑death collision at a traffic light in Accra, as well as Nana Akwasi’s sale of personal assets to finance party activities.
As the NDC heads to the polls, Kobby urged members to entrench and expand the party’s popularity in the Ashanti Region and to dismantle the NPP’s “World Bank.” He added that no one is better placed to lead that charge than Chairman Nana Akwasi.
Nana Akwasi is seeking to retain his position amid strong competition from Regional Organiser Isham Alhassan Yaw Bonsu. The party will select leaders capable of steering the NDC to victory in the 2028 elections.
